Trouble In Paradise Lyrics - You're Only Lonely - J.d. Souther

Baby, I was talkin' all night long 

Tryin' to take it home long distance 

I guess I lost my connection 

I heard you slip away 

And then it came in loud and clear 

You only hear what you want to hear 

And everybody here says 

Sonny boy, you're on your way 

There's trouble in paradise 

The story don't sound too nice 

And you just can't sleep at night 

In a solid gold room 

Well, there's trouble in paradise 

You never turn out those lights 

You just can't close your eyes 

In a solid gold room 

Baby, you've been lookin' at the future 

And I know you think you found it 

But now you want to make me a hero 

And put me in a shiny shoe 

Now I don't know where to put the blame 

I guess everybody needs to have a name 

But you never get to count the loot 

There's trouble in paradise 

The story don't sound too nice 

And you can't sleep sleep at night 

In a solid gold room 

Well, there's trouble in paradise 

And too many sleepless nights 

Ain't got half a pride 

In a solid gold room 

Well, there's trouble 

Where the warm winds won't blow 

And the stars don't seem to shine so bright 

Nearly everybody knows 

Nearly nobody minds 

You've been outside hangin' at the stage door 

Wavin' at the limousines 

(Goodbye, goodbye) 

It's the same Cadillac that they use 

In a graveyard scene 

Some other mornin' you go back to school 

As if nothing has changed 

Well, there's no use playin' if you're winning 

At a losin' game 

There's trouble in paradise 

You're payin' for everything twice 

Too much at half the price 

A little too soon 

Well, there's trouble in paradise 

You never turn out those lights 

And you just can't close your eyes 

In a solid gold room 

No, no you never can close your eyes 

In a solid gold room ooh, no 

No, no, no, there's trouble
