Carlton Lynn - Below Paradise lyrics

[Produced by Joseph Prielozny] Malo! Look around, I see paradise disappear It's a mirage to the people who's still living here Make no mistake, life is great, but it's still lackin' Sister gone, son gone, can't deny what happened Expensive look, crystal clear, this ain't paradise k**ing yourself to make it work, now that's a sacrifice It's pointless as a broken arrow, put a bow on it Wrap it up and make it pretty, maybe they won't notice nothing Yeah, falling for the okey-doke Guarantee you'll take it baby, if you know she'll hold you close In the life of luxury, she huggin' me I'm out here exposing all my private matters publicly Please pardon the interruption but you don't know the score You don't know the game, I ain't talking bout' a sport This is real life Where real people sneak and creep and cheat on they real wife We got real problems, that's the real world It's hard to face reality with the image blurred It's hard to see the world for what it really is A d**h trap, don't get attached, it's coming to an end It's coming to an end! I think you need to know Teddy Pendergra** said it well, "You need to let it go" Let me go I tell the world, "No holding back" Love's like money I borrowed I guess I owe you that [Outro: Andy Mineo] Paradise (repeated)
