[Verse 1]
I'm taking out this time
To give you a piece of my mind
Who do you think you are?
Maybe one day you'll be a star
But until then, baby, I'm the one who's crazy
'Cause that's the way you make me feel
I don't want no romance
I just want the chance to show you that I'm for real
[Pre-Chorus]
I never said that I would be your everything
But you know that I love you, baby
And it's gonna be such a shame
When you start living in this
[Chorus]
Fool's paradise
You better think twice 'cause it's not very nice
Fool's paradise
You better think twice 'cause it's not very nice
[Verse 2]
The bright lights and big city
Don't go to my baby's head
You know I love you, baby
But you choose this life instead
So just remember what your mama told you
Before she sent you on your way
(Before she sent you on your way)
She told never ever be too clever
To not see your own mistakes
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll be here waiting for you
When you come off your trip
And I guess I will always be the one
To bring you back from your busy, busy, baby, oh
[Chorus]
Fool's paradise
You better think twice 'cause you know it's not very nice
Fool's paradise
You better think twice 'cause you know it's not very nice
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll be here waiting for you
When you come off your trip
And I guess I will always be the one
To bring you back from your busy, busy, baby
[Chorus]
Fool's paradise
You better think twice 'cause it's not very nice
Fool's paradise
You better think twice 'cause you know that it's not very nice
Fool's paradise
You better think twice 'cause it's not very nice
Fool's paradise (It's a fool's)
You better think twice 'cause it's not very nice
[Outro]
Not very nice (Nah, not very)
It's fool's paradise (Not very)
Not very nice (Oh nah, not very)
It's fool's paradise (Oh, no, baby)
Not very nice (Oh no, not very)
It's fool's paradise (Not very)
Not very nice (Nah, not very)
It's fool's paradise (Oh, it's a fool's)
Not very nice
It's fool's paradise
Not very nice
It's fool's paradise
(You're living in a fool's)
Not very nice
It's fool's paradise
Not very nice
It's fool's paradise
