He learned early if you want somebody, go all the way-ay
So when he met her and he fell in love, he just stole her away-ay
Oh Paris
He crept ho-ome in the dead of night and the people say-ay
(You should have known better)
If you love a man, put up a fight, don't run away-ay
(He should have known better)
Oh Paris
Oh Paris, open your eye-eyes, I ain't tellin' you lie-ies
I said it's just a disguise and look out Paris
You should have known better, oh-oh
Oh Paris, you should have known better
Oh-oh Paris, you should have known better
Well her people wanted Helen back, with Paris' head in a sack
(They should have known better)
They were lean and sleek and mean and Greek and they want her back
(They should have known better)
Oh Paris
Oh Paris, open your eye-eyes, I ain't tellin' you lie-ies
I said it's just a disguise, and look out Paris
You should have known better, oh-oh
Oh Paris, you should have known better, oh-oh
Oh Paris, you should have known better
They didn't mess around, they want to burn it down
They wanna tear up the town, raise the joint to the ground
They had a thousand longboats and over ten thousand me-en
And they were all stormin' the walls, again and again and again
Guess they should have known better
Oh Paris, they should have known better
Oh Paris, they should have known better
Troy's too high, too strong to die-ie, to useless force
(They should have known better)
When your spears and swords and your arrows fail, use a wooden horse
(They should have played fairer)
Oh-oh Paris
Oh Paris, open your eye-eyes (for God's sake)
I ain't tellin' you lie-ies (for God's sake), I said it's just a disguise
Look out Paris, you should have known better
Oh Paris, open your eye-eyes (for God's sake)
I ain't tellin' you lie-ies (for God's sake), it's just a disguise
Look out Paris, you should have known better, oh-oh
Oh Paris, you should have known better, oh-oh
Oh Paris, you should have known better
Oh...oh Paris, you shold have known better
Oh Paris, Oh-oh Paris, you should have known better
Oh-oh Paris, you should have known better
