Peter Allen – Paris At 21 Lyrics

Artist: Peter Allen
Song: Paris At 21

Paris in 21, at 21
Paris in 21, at 21
Paris in 21, at 21
Sweet mirrored illusions

Keeping on rolling along

‘Cause that’s when sin
Was cheating on your wife
Not like today, it’s all okay, ole, ole

Because would have been there
But I wasn’t born

Would have had the time of my life
Would have sinned there
‘Cause that’s when sin was cheating on your wife
Would have been there, but I wasn’t born

Would have been the toast of the town
Would have sinned there
‘Cause that’s when sin was…
