They say that the toes that you step on while you're on your way up

may be the same ones that you kiss going down

Whatever it takes is what you're willing to do

but what goes around will come back around

There may be room at the top with the cream of the crop

but you better be prepared for the hunt

becos' the ones you see now at the back of the line where up front,



so tell me, are you prepared to make the sacrifice

are you strong enough to live your life..like a fool in paradise



The things that you say while you're the star of the show

will be remembered when your legacy fades

so think what to say before you say what you think

or learn to live with the mistakes that you've made

The grass is always greener on the other side

that's because it's not the side that you're on

and all the friends you had when you were number one

they're all gone



[Chorus]



Like a fool in paradise.......I'm a fool in paradise
