Where Do You Go to (My Lovely) Lyrics
[00:14.93] You talk like Marlene Dietrich
[00:18.57] And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
[00:22.73] And your clothes are all made by Balmain
[00:26.65] And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair, yes there are
[00:32.95] And you live in a fancy apartment
[00:37.48] Off the Boulevard St. Michel
[00:41.08] Oh, where you keep your Rolling Stones records
[00:45.16] And a friend of Sacha Distel, oh yes you do
[00:51.28] And you go to the embassy parties
[00:51.57] Where you talk in Russian and Greek
[00:51.73] And the young men who move in your circles
[00:52.01] Oh, they hang on every word you speak, yes they do
[00:52.36] But where do you go to, my lovely?
[00:55.85] Oh, when you're alone in your bed
[00:59.48] Oh, won't you tell me the thoughts that surround you?
[01:04.06] I want to look inside your head, yes I do
[01:10.69] Oh, I've seen all your qualifications
[01:14.13] And you got from the Sorbonne
[01:18.38] And the painting you stole from Picasso
[01:22.44] Your loveliness goes on and on, yes it does
[01:28.18] And when you go on your summer vacation
[01:32.65] You go to Juan-les-Pins
[01:36.54] Oh, with your carefully designed topless swimsuit
[01:41.37] You get an even suntan on your back, and on your legs
[01:46.37] And when the snow falls you're found in St. Moritz
[01:49.85] With the others of the jet set
[01:54.87] And you sip your Napoleon brandy
[01:59.36] And you never get your lips wet, oh no you don't
[02:05.05] But where do you go to, my lovely?
[02:09.56] Oh, when you're alone in your bed
[02:13.42] Oh, won't you tell me the thoughts that surround you?
[02:17.60] I want to look inside your head, yes I do
[02:23.54] Oh, when you're in between twenty and thirty
[02:27.95] And that's a very desirable age
[02:28.15] Oh, but your body is firm and inviting
[02:28.49] But you live on a glittering stage, do, yes you do
[02:28.73] And your name is heard in high places
[02:28.92] Oh, you know the Aga Khan
[02:31.84] Oh, we sent you a race horse for Christmas
[02:37.20] And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh, ha-ha-ha
[02:41.98] And they say that when you get married
[02:46.28] It'll be to a millionaire
[02:50.12] Oh, but they don't realize where you came from
[02:54.23] And I wonder if they really care, or give a damn
[03:00.32] Oh, but where do you go to, my lovely?
[03:04.71] When you're alone in your bed
[03:08.69] Oh, won't you tell me the thoughts that surround you?
[03:13.11] I want to look inside your head, yes I do
[03:18.84] I remember the backstreets of Naples
[03:23.37] Two children begging in rags
[03:27.46] Both touched with a burning ambition
[03:31.62] To shake off their lowly-born tags, they tried
[03:37.03] So look into my face, Marie-Claire
[03:41.78] And remember just who you are
[03:45.99] Oh, then go and forget me forever
[03:50.00] But I know you still bear the scar, deep inside
[03:56.34] Oh, I know where you go to my lovely
[04:00.16] Oh, when you're alone in your bed
[04:04.96] I know the thoughts that surround you
[04:09.10] Because I can look inside your head
[04:22.52] Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na
[04:40.29]
[00:18.57] And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
[00:22.73] And your clothes are all made by Balmain
[00:26.65] And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair, yes there are
[00:32.95] And you live in a fancy apartment
[00:37.48] Off the Boulevard St. Michel
