Some things can't be explained like you'd like 'em to be I find it's easier to curse than pray But I feel I can't escape what you've done for me I don't understand why You traded paradise for poverty Created all and laid it all on the line for me I'm just an ordinary heart and soul You bridged an ocean to stand in my place So, how do I find this kind of love inside? Why do I want it to belong to me? When I've heard the words I love you so many times It's hard to believe You traded paradise for poverty Created all and laid it all on the line for me I'm just and ordinary heart and soul You bridged an ocean to stand in my place I needed someone to stand In my lonely place A familiar face A warm embrace A saving grace You demonstrated how true love should be By loving me Unselfishly, yeah! Stand in my place! You traded paradise for poverty Created all and laid it all on the line for me I'm just and ordinary heart and soul You bridged an ocean to stand in my place You traded paradise for poverty Created all and laid it all on the line for me I'm just and ordinary heart and soul You bridged an ocean to stand in my place You traded paradise for poverty Created all and laid it all on the line for me I'm just and ordinary heart and soul You bridged an ocean to stand in my place You traded paradise for poverty Created all and laid it all on the line for me I'm just and ordinary heart and soul You bridged an ocean to stand in my place
