Tell me where are you going
Sweet mademoiselle
To London or Paris
To the Grand Hotel

Where do you go at the end of the day
Where do you go, when you spend time away
To islands in the tropic sands
Or pleasure trips to distant lands
You’re searching for a dream
Well maybe it’s me.

I tell you hello
And what do you say
As I stop you go
There’s no reason to stay

It all began so harmlessly
You gave me love so easily
I never realized you were just spending time

Tell me where are you going
Sweet mademoiselle
To London or Paris
To the Grand Hotel

Even though you’re far away
I think about you every day
And wonder if you’re thinking of me
In a fond memory
Sweet mademoiselle

Tell me where are you going
Sweet mademoiselle
To London or Paris
Ou Montreal
Sweet Mademoiselle

If you like etymology or breaking apart phrases and words, it is easy to understand the lyrics to Mademoiselle by Styx. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Mademoiselle" means the words set to the music of Mademoiselle, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Styx. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Mademoiselle and the lyrics to Mademoiselle are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Styx who came here looking just for the lyrics to Mademoiselle, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
