Lyrics Donnie Iris – She’s So European

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

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
