Lyrics
Fools rush in, it's been said before
It's a simple truth across the board
But things don't come to those who wait
I just can't leave love up to fate
My best-laid plans fail again and again
I've been losing since I don't know when
The thrill is there and then it's gone
The smile fades and the love is done
I'm just a fool in paradise
When it comes to love I just roll the dice
I'm just a fool in paradise A fool in paradise
A fool in paradise
I always say that I'm in love
And the stars smile down from up above
You might think that it must be nice
But love ain't free there's always a price
I'm just a fool in paradise
When it comes to love I just roll the dice
I'm just a fool in paradise
A fool in paradise
Paradise is her simple smile
just around the corner all the while
Her blue eyes unlock heaven's gate
I get caught by her feminine ways
I'm just a fool in paradise
When it comes to love I just roll the dice
I'm just a fool in paradise A fool in paradise
A fool in paradise.
Solo
I'm just a fool in paradise
When it comes to love I just roll the dice
I'm just a fool in paradise A fool in paradise
A fool in paradise
A fool in paradise
