Well, I left my digs in the US of A,
Goin' to see a man about Paris.
I'm scheduled for a flight and it leaves today,
And all my luggage is more than I can carry.

I'm a Temporary Expatriate,
Headed for Paris,
A Temporary Expatriate,
Oh, what's come over me?

I arrived at the airport and met this guy.
He said his name is Phil McGhee
And he's so hot it makes me cry.
Man, you've got to love Paris.

I'm a Temporary Expatriate,
Arriving in Paris,
A Temporary Expatriate,
Oh, what's come over me?

Now the only thing that's wrong with Phil
Is that he seems to be covertly gay.
Seeing him with Sebastian always gives me a chill
How can he really feel that way?

I'm a Temporary Expatriate,
Living in Paris,
A Temporary Expatriate,
Oh, what's come over me?

Now this summer month's nearly gone,
And soon I'll lose my love Phil McGhee.
And though I know I'm just another Fan Girl pawn,
How about... next year in Paris!

I'm a Temporary Expatriate,
Forced to leave Paris,
A Temporary Expatriate,
Oh, what's come over me?

I'm a Temporary Expatriate,
In love with Phil McGhee,
A Temporary Expatriate,
Oh, what's come over me?
