  • There was a girl in Paris
    Whom he sent a letter to
    Hoping she would answer back
    Now wasn't that a fool
    Hardy notion on the part of a
    Sometimes lonely musician
    Acting out a whim is only good
    For a condition of the heart

    There was a dame from London
    Who insisted that he love her
    Then left him for a real prince
    From Arabia, now isn't that
    A shame that sometimes money
    Buys you everything and nothing
    Love, it only seems to buy a
    Terminal condition of the heart

    Thinking about you driving me crazy
    My friends all say it's just a phase, but oh, oh
    Every day is a yellow day
    I'm blinded by the daisies in your yard

    There was a woman from the ghetto
    Who made funny faces just like
    Clara Bow, how was I to know
    That she would wear the same
    Cologne as you and giggle the same
    Giggle that you do?
    Whenever I would act a fool, the fool
    With a condition of the heart

    Thinking about you driving me crazy
    My friends all say it's just a phase, but oh, oh
    Every single day is a yellow day
    I'm blinded by the daisies in your yard

    There was a girl (There was a girl in Paris)
    Whom he sent a letter to (Whom he sent a letter to)
    (Hoping she would answer back)
    She never answered back and now (wasn't that a foolhardy)
    He's got a condition of the heart (notion) Writer/s: Prince Rogers Nelson
