Paradise Lyrics
[Verse 1: Andy Bell]
Hey, now did I tell you that I was going?
Yes, I'm leaving
'Cause there's no room in this house
You're just too much in love with yourself
[Verse 2: Andy Bell]
Tired of living in slow motion
Gonna make the bubble burst and fill the ocean
With your crocodile tears from your eyes
Instead of swimming against the tide
[Pre-Chorus 1: Andy Bell]
There are better things that a man can do
Than to waste his time on a no good fool like you
[Chorus: Andy Bell]
Falling into a pool like paradise
Falling into a pool like paradise
[Verse 3: Andy Bell]
You say that you're really sorry
But sorry don't work when you've heard it
For the fifty-second time
You should be ready to say goodbye
Hey, now did I tell you that I was going?
Yes, I'm leaving
'Cause there's no room in this house
You're just too much in love with yourself
[Verse 2: Andy Bell]
Tired of living in slow motion
Gonna make the bubble burst and fill the ocean
With your crocodile tears from your eyes
Instead of swimming against the tide
[Pre-Chorus 1: Andy Bell]
There are better things that a man can do
Than to waste his time on a no good fool like you
[Chorus: Andy Bell]
Falling into a pool like paradise
Falling into a pool like paradise
[Verse 3: Andy Bell]
You say that you're really sorry
But sorry don't work when you've heard it
For the fifty-second time
You should be ready to say goodbye
[Verse 4: Andy Bell]
Tired of your dead-end dreamin'
Baby who on earth do you think you're kidding?
Don't put another record on
I'm sick of hearing the same old song
[Pre-Chorus 2: Andy Bell]
Don't wanna hear your little white lies
They can break the moon and decimate the sky
[Chorus: Andy Bell]
Falling into a pool like paradise
Falling into a pool like paradise
[Interlude]
[Pre-Chorus 1: Andy Bell]
There are better things that a man can do
Than to waste his time on a no good fool like you
[Bridge: Andy Bell]
I'll be going away soon, only time will tell
If I'll ever be back again
I'll be going away soon, only time will tell
If I'll ever be back again
Tired of your dead-end dreamin'
Baby who on earth do you think you're kidding?
Don't put another record on
I'm sick of hearing the same old song
[Pre-Chorus 2: Andy Bell]
Don't wanna hear your little white lies
They can break the moon and decimate the sky
[Chorus: Andy Bell]
Falling into a pool like paradise
Falling into a pool like paradise
[Interlude]
[Pre-Chorus 1: Andy Bell]
There are better things that a man can do
Than to waste his time on a no good fool like you
[Bridge: Andy Bell]
I'll be going away soon, only time will tell
If I'll ever be back again
I'll be going away soon, only time will tell
If I'll ever be back again
[Chorus: Andy Bell]
Falling into a pool like paradise
Falling into a pool like paradise
Falling into a pool like paradise
Falling into a pool like paradise
