They met in Paris in '94
Or was it '95?
She was there studying abroad, he was on tour
Playing in another dive
They partied hard, and they parted ways
A little north of the Seine
He dreamed about her in so many ways
She dreamed about him in French
Well, she knows what to do with Michael
She knows how to make him feel
That he's the one, he's his mother's son
Not like anyone, he just needs time to heal
They met in New York a few months later
He was still living alone
Hugging the bar and masturbating
Never answered his phone
Their first date was a movie together
Outside at Bryant Park
Well, The Spirit of St. Louis just went on forever
So they drank wine until they saw stars
Well, she knows what to do with Michael
She knows how to make him feel
That he's the one, he's his mother's son
Not like anyone, he just needs time to heal
They finally hooked up for the first time
The night before the 4th of July
He felt so awkward saying goodbye
To the girl who just changed his life
Now, my friend, they are inseparable
She even gets that boy to go to the gym
Now if you don't think that's love, you must be cynical
Or maybe, man, you're just dreaming in French, yeah
