The French Couple Lyrics

We have so little cash between us
We shouldn't have spent it all on a meal
But I couldn't resist the ambiance
I needed to feel like I had something

You ask me why I'm so angry
At the French couple next to us
They're laughing at their entrees
What they don't know is
How far we'd go for a little luck

We have so little cash between us
I shouldn't have ordered those fillets
But I couldn't resist it
I'd been hungry for days

And why am I angry
At the French couple sitting next to us
They're laughing at their entrees
Laughing at the presentation
I guess we're not good enough

You ask me if we can afford this
Oh don't trouble your head
I'll take the tab
I see it made you glad
But somehow it put us in a different mind-set

You ask me why I want to kill them
The French couple in the booth next to ours
They're laughing at the dessert tray
While I consider
The price of a chocolate star

I'm watching them walking away
Having a lovely night
I'd like to say I've had one too

But I'm beginning to feel so empty
Even though I paid for two

You ask me why I just don't follow them
The French couple on the way to the theater
I know I can never be like them
And they won't let me in
Unless I usher

We have so little cash between us
We should have stayed home and made the rice
I thought I'd take us out this evening
Why not go someplace nice?

Why can't we go someplace nice?
Why can't we go someplace nice?

Why can't we go where the French couple goes?

Someplace nice...
