Lyrics

VERSE 1.
Look out for Mary, she's having an awful day
Baby's a crying, she's got to get away
Off of this island, big city lights across the bay
Life would be fine
Look out for Manny, he just wanted to be free
So he left the city for a cottage by the sea
Only to find out you can't eat the scenery
Now he works twice as hard to feed his family
CHORUS
Everybody goes 'round and 'round looking for Paradise
Just got to roll the dice and hope it comes your way
But when it all comes down the trouble with Paradise
The closer you get the more it seems to slip away
VERSE 2.
Look out for Sammy, he's got his eye on a sweet young thing
But losing the family isn't worth a week long fling
Better to hold out and just live with the fantasy
Of how fine she'd be
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Look at where you are, it may not be that far From where you want to be, just too close to see
(Solo)
VERSE 3.
I've got to run now, I've got a date with my TV
They're calling the numbers from the local lottery
I've got to wonder if winning would change my destiny
Give me a million and I'll end up spending three
CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
