Hearing It In French

I met her down in Baton Rouge about a year ago
                                             G
We were listening to a band that played at a place called Zydeco
  F                           C                   F
I finally got the nerve up to say come dance with me
       C                               G                   C
And my knees turned to butter when she answered  "C'est la vie"


[Chorus]
N.C.       C
I told her don't say goodbye my love just tell me "Au revoir"
                                G
Don't say goodnight just let me hear "Mon cher, bon soir"
    F                                  C              F
She wrapped my heart around her little finger inch by inch
      G                                                  C
Cause everything sounds better when you're hearing it in French.

  C
I don't recall a lot of what she said to me that night
                                   G
It never really mattered cause she made it all sound right
F                               C               F
When the night was over she was gone like cajun smoke
      C                                G               C
But I still recall the language of the angels that she spoke


[Chorus]
N.C.       C
I told her don't say goodbye my love just tell me "Au revoir"
                                G
Don't say goodnight just let me hear "Mon cher, bon soir"
    F                                  C              F
She wrapped my heart around her little finger inch by inch
      G                                                  C
Cause everything sounds better when you're hearing it in French.

Now every chance I get I take the drive to Baton Rouge
                                G
And stopping down at Zydecos to hear a song or two
      F                                  C             F
Well, if she's ever in there, boys, just get out of my way
        C                               G                C
Cause I got a few more phrases that I'd love to hear her say


[Chorus]
N.C.          C
I'll tell her don't say goodbye my love just tell me "au revoir"
                                G
Don't say goodnight just let me hear "Mon cher, bon soir"
    F                                  C              F
She wrapped my heart around her little finger inch by inch
      G                                                  C

Yeah, everything sounds better when you're hearing it in French
N.C.
Mmm, yeah, that's what I'm saying
