Trouble In Paradise

Lyrics

Baby, I was talkin' all night long
 Tryin' to take it home long distance
 I guess I lost my connection
 I heard you slip away
 And then it came in loud and clear
 You only hear what you want to hear
 And everybody here says
 Sonny boy, you're on your way
 There's trouble in paradise
 The story don't sound too nice
 And you just can't sleep at night
 In a solid gold room
 Well, there's trouble in paradise
 You never turn out those lights
 You just can't close your eyes
 In a solid gold room
 Baby, you've been lookin' at the future
 And I know you think you found it
 But now you want to make me a hero
 And put me in a shiny shoe
 Now I don't know where to put the blame
 I guess everybody needs to have a name
 But you never get to count the loot
 There's trouble in paradise
 The story don't sound too nice
 And you can't sleep sleep at night
 In a solid gold room
 Well, there's trouble in paradise
 And too many sleepless nights
 Ain't got half a pride
 In a solid gold room
 Well, there's trouble
 Where the warm winds won't blow
 And the stars don't seem to shine so bright
 Nearly everybody knows
 Nearly nobody minds
 You've been outside hangin' at the stage door
 Wavin' at the limousines
 (Goodbye, goodbye)
 It's the same Cadillac that they use
 In a graveyard scene
 Some other mornin' you go back to school
 As if nothing has changed
 Well, there's no use playin' if you're winning
 At a losin' game
 There's trouble in paradise
 You're payin' for everything twice
 Too much at half the price
 A little too soon
 Well, there's trouble in paradise
 You never turn out those lights
 And you just can't close your eyes
 In a solid gold room
 No, no you never can close your eyes
 In a solid gold room ooh, no
 No, no, no, there's trouble
