Hey baby it’s time To step up And takes what’s mine Say goodbye To my fool’s paradise I was right Down to the wire I was preaching To the choir I was bust But now it’s just Day and night I was happy once Maybe it was twice Baby way back when In my fool’s paradise Please tell her I didn’t know Any better I was broke But I’ll get fixed In the next world I hope I was happy once Maybe it was twice Baby way back when In my fool’s paradise Then you came along And opened my eyes Now there’s no return To my fool’s paradise
