[Chorus]
Paradise (Paradise) is what you're looking for
Paradise (Paradise) is what you're looking for
[Verse 1]
Are you looking for some place you can be free?
Are you looking, looking for someone you wanna be
[Pre-Chorus]
You ran away from home, girl (Ran away from home, girl)
Searching for your Shangri-la
Wherever you may roam, girl
In my mind, you won't be far
[Chorus]
Paradise (Paradise) is what you're looking for
Paradise (Paradise) is what you're looking for
[Verse 2]
You're a prisoner inside a gilded cage
You keep praying, saying there must be a better way
(Gotta be a better way)
[Pre-Chorus]
You've got the best intentions (Best intentions)
F this I don't have any doubts
I can't help but to mention (To mention)
Don't you know what life's about
[Chorus]
Paradise (Paradise) is what you're looking for
Paradise (Paradise) is what you're looking for
[Bridge]
(Paradise)
(Paradise)
[Verse 1]
Are you looking for some place you can be free?
Are you looking, looking for someone you wanna be?
[Chorus]
Paradise (Paradise) is what you're looking for
Paradise (Paradise) is what you're looking for
Paradise (Paradise) is what you're looking for
Paradise (Paradise) is what you're looking for
[Outro]
Paradise (Sweet), paradise (Your)
Paradise (My paradise)
Paradise (Sweet), paradise (Your)
Paradise (My paradise)
Paradise (Paradise) is what you're looking for
Paradise (Paradise) is what you're looking for
