i pulled away from the tall guy
i have to go, i said
why? he asked
but i think he understood
i pulled away from the guy who was singing at the bar
and i said, your words are proud but they're empty
you speak a language you're sure only you understand
and you don't try to understand anyone else
and then he pushed me away
he didn't get what i was saying
i pulled away from a french guy
i don't speak french, i said
anglais, anglais, oui anglais
hablas español? si!
quieres bailar? ok!
mis padres son de españa
no, no, no bailes así, te estás pisando los pies a mí.
pero estoy emborrachada!
no me importa -- sígueme, sígueme.
mejor. a los pies les voy a enseñar a hablar. si? ok.
i pulled away from the business man
i said something he didn't understand
i wish i knew more english, he said
i said i'm the one who's in paris
he gave me his business card
call me please tomorrow, he said
the next day i found it in my bed
i threw it all away
