lyrics

It Wasn't Even Fun While It Lasted
(A.McCue-B.Saporiti)

I was taken by surprise when you came into view
I had never seen a view as lovely as you
I guess there are some things that are too good to be true
Coz it wasn't even fun while it lasted

You waltzed me down the boulevards of gay Paris
You whispered softly in my ear je t'aime cherie
And even though the stars that night were shining for me
It wasn't even fun while it lasted

Jean Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir
Josephine and Bonaparte
Gertrude Stein and Alice B.
It really didn't matter to me

Dinner at Maxim's
We had a table for two
A fricasee, a diamond ring, a croquembouche
Then ooh la la la voulez vous
Coucher avec moi?
But it wasn't even fun while it lasted

City of romance
City of dreams
I saw the lights on the Champs Elysee
But all I felt was a vague ennui
It really didn't matter to me

There's nothing wrong with love as far as I can see
But all the money in the world
Can't buy it for me
I'd rather read a book or maybe climb up a tree
'Cause it wasn't even fun while it lasted
Au Revoir, Bonne Nuit, Salut
Adieu, C'est la Vie
It wasn't even fun while it lasted!
