Fool’s Paradise lyrics
by Don McLean
[Verse 1]
You took me up to Heaven
When you took me in your arms
I was dazzled by your beauty
Blinded by your charms
[Chorus]
I was lost in a fool's paradise
Good and lost in a fool's paradise
[Verse 2]
Well, when you told me that you loved me
And I gave my heart to you
Oh, well, I wondered if there could be
Any truth in love so new
[Chorus]
I was lost in a fool's paradise
Good and lost in a fool's paradise
[Bridge]
The whole world was my kingdom
And your love, the gem in my crown
But when I saw you glance at a new romance
You know my love came tumblin' down
[Verse 3]
Well, you treat me kinda coolish
And you never let me know
That you think I'm being foolish
Because I love you so
[Chorus]
I still get lost in a fool's paradise
Good and lost in a fool's paradise
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Well, the whole world was my kingdom
And your love, the gem in my crown
But when I saw you glance at a new romance
You know my love came tumblin' down, woo
[Verse 3]
You know, you treat me kinda coolish
And you never let me know
That you think I'm being foolish
Because I love you so
[Chorus]
I still get lost in a fool's paradise
Lost with you in a fool's paradise
Yes, I still get lost in a fool's paradise
So, doggone lost in a fool's paradise
