Donnie Iris - She's So European Lyrics

She was an army brat
She surfed in Waikiki
She told me she was French
But she's from Tennessee

I said whoa-oh-oh... yeah
R-R-R-Rock

She went to school in Rome
And wrote her friends back home
The Italian boys won't leave me alone

I said whoa-oh-oh... yeah

R-R-R-Rock

And there's nothing that you can do
Cause she don't understand you
There's nothing that you can do
She won't understand you

[Chorus:]
She's so European
For an American girl
She's so European
For an American girl

R-R-R-Rock

She said a Parlez Vous
Hey hey do I know you?
Was it on the Riviera
May of '82?

I said whoa-oh-oh... oh
R-R-R-Rock

She said my father paid for me
To see the Orient
I really got a tan so it was
Worth every cent

I said whoa-oh-oh... yeah
R-R-R-Rock

Now you don't speak her language
So she don't understand you
If you don't speak her language
She won't understand you

[Repeat chorus]

She said caio caio caio
I'll see you later
You better come on up and see me sometime

I said whoa-oh-oh... yeah
R-R-R-Rock

And there's nothing that you can do
Cause she don't understand you
There's nothing that you can do
She won't understand you
