fool's paradise

i've got this caribbean queen

rubbin' in my coconut sunscreen

you'd think you'd be the last thing on my mind

i've got a beautiful ocean view

ten thousand miles from you

so why couldn't i leave this broken heart behind

oh the sunshine is dancin' on the water

pretty girls couldn't get any hotter

if i keep tellin' myself

i'm havin' the time of my life

maybe it'll come true and i won't miss you

welcome to a fool's paradise

well i keep on tellin' me

there's other fish in the sea

but your memory keeps reminding me i'm wrong

there's a party 'bout every night

and i should be out doin' it up right

instead of watchin' re-runs of gilligan's island all alone

oh the moonlight is dancin' on the water

pretty girls couldn't get any hotter

if i keep tellin' myself

i'm havin' the time of my life

maybe it'll come true and i won't miss you

welcome to a fool's paradise

this time next week i'll be headed to texas on a big jet airplane

oh when i get home you know this broken heart is gonna hit me like a hurricane

oh the sunshine is dancin' on the water

pretty girls couldn't get any hotter

if i keep tellin' myself

i'm havin' the time of my life

maybe it'll come true and i won't miss you

welcome to a fool's paradise
