[Verse 1]

I don’t know what you must be on

You walked in like the Aga Khan

Did you fly in on a jet?

Win a million dollar bet?

So let me get my good shoes on

I wanna follow in the same old steps

Where you waltz around like you’re the best

Where your garden blooms in May

But it's snowing every day

‘Cause you have everything you want

[Pre-Chorus]

You must be (You must be)

The Houdini in my life

But you can’t see (You can't see)

I could never be your wife

[Chorus]

‘Cause I’m still a lady

No, I’m not some wench

That falls for your lines

I’m not on the fence

Your routine is fading

Boy, I could use a wrench

I know my words won’t fail me

Please excuse my French

(Pardonnez-moi)

[Verse 2]

Today you think you’re Errol Flynn

Sharing stories where you think you’ve been

Your style must be cramped

Without a passport stamp

Can’t you see the twister that you’re in?

Why drown inside a sea of words?

You’re going under, now you won’t get heard

So just give it a rest

This time your more is less

You’re going solo in this dream

[Pre-Chorus]

You must be (You must be)

The Houdini in my life

But you can’t see (You can't see)

I could never be your wife

[Chorus]

‘Cause I’m still a lady

No, I’m not some wench

That falls for your lines

I’m not on the fence

Your routine is fading

Boy, I could use a wrench

I know my words won’t fail me

Please excuse my French

(Pardonnez-moi)
