Foreigner
I used to love foreign gents
They made up my heart
I used to fall for actors with accents
I considered them to be total works of art
But then I realized a different country
Well, it doesn't really mean like anything
And it certainly doesn't make up for a total lack of a personality
Cuz yeah you're tall and you're handsome
But that's about it
Though you mocked mine, where was your quirkiness
Yeah, you're tall and you're handsome
You speak a different language
Oh, you foreigners get such an unfair advantage
Advantage
So, you're not some dumb American who can only speak English (Wow)
But guess what? I'm learning French (Tu es minable)
I'm gonna get my dual citizenship
Said I shouldn't act like I was fourteen
Cuz I was five years older than that (Ha)
Well, I'm just sorry your boring brain
Couldn't diminish me like some Mussolini autocrat
Cuz yeah you're tall and you're handsome
But that's about it
Though you mocked mine, where was your quirkiness
Yeah, you're tall and you're handsome
You speak a different language
Oh, you foreigners get such an unfair advantage
Advantage
Yeah, you had a cool name that was hard to pronounce
Made me leave behind all those "Jacks" and "Jeremies" I used to tell you about
And yeah, that accent could stop an American girl in her tracks
Make her never want to look back
Even if nothing else was there
She'd forever be ensnared
Cuz yeah you're tall and you're handsome
But that's about it
Though you mocked mine, where was your quirkiness
Yeah, you're tall and you're handsome
You speak a different language
Oh, you foreigner get such an unfair advantage
Yeah, you're tall and you're handsome
Not an American
You Europeans can't let a girl be indifferent
You remind me of Paris
Just so damn romantic
Oh, you foreigner, get such an unfair advantage (advantage)
Advantage (advantage)
Advantage (advantage)
