[Verse 1]
Car wash sign keeps on turning
Air so thick
You think the city's burning
Big buildings
People rush around to hide their fears
I walk up the stairs
And knock on your daddy's door
Above the liquor store
A flashing neon sign lights up the room
You wouldn't think love could live in all this loom
[Chorus]
But when I'm with you
It's a lover's paradise
Walking hand in hand
In lover's wonderland
A place that only you and me
When I look into your eyes
I'm in lover's paradise
Street wise guys keep on staring
Cars cruise by with the headlights glaring
Night time brings out the worst in this town
But when I see your pretty face there's no one else around
[Chorus]
'Cause when I'm with you
It's a lover's paradise
Walking hand in hand in lover's wonderland
A place that only you and me
When I look into your eyes
I'm in lover's paradise
Yeah yeah
[Saxophone solo]
A flashing neon sign lights up the room
You wouldn't think love could live in all this loom
[Chorus Outro]
But when I'm with you
It's a lover's paradise (Paradise)
I'm with you in lover's paradise
Walking hand in hand in lover's wonderland
A place that only you and me, baby
When I look into your big brown eyes
I'm in lover's paradise
Woah oh woah yeah
