Lyrics
Well It?s happened again? I?m stuck in paradise
And it sure feels nice? To be in the situation that I?m in
I tell you my friend? Sometimes you roll the dice
And it can turn out bad? But sometimes it turns out so nice
Sometimes you get what you pray for? you might find some relief
Sometimes you get what you don?t want baby
And that might be your biggest need?.
Now when you live on an Island loved ones can be so far away
But they?ll be coming on over? on their very next holiday
And it could happen to them? They could get stuck in paradise
And wouldn?t that be nice? To be in the situation that you?re in
Now I don?t own an alarm clock?. In fact I barely wear shoes
I?ve got some change in my pocket enough for fresh fish and a brew
Trade winds are always blowin God?s blessings are abundantly clear
So here?s a song to remember? To give thanks for being here
Because It?s happened again? I?m stuck in paradise
And it sure feels nice? To be in the situation that I?m in
