I'm leaving for Paris.
No, I don't think that I'll see you.
I'm leaving for Paris.
No, I don't think that I need to.

So I'm leaving for Paris
Won't you try to take care of yourself?
Won't you try to take care of yourself?

I pray you won't follow
through the crooked streets behind me.
I pray you won't follow
like so many who have known me.

So I'm leaving for Paris.
Don't you try to find out were I am,
Just you try to take care of yourself.

And when I get there
I will lose the ring you gave me.
And when I get there
How happy I will then be.

So I'm leaving for Paris
Won't you try to take care of yourself?
Just try to take care of yourself.

'Cause I'm leaving, yes, I'm leaving...
'Cause I'm leaving, yes, I'm leaving
for Paris.

Goodbye
