| Remember me, you were a friend of mine,
|
| Restless and young, I’m the one you made love to for the first time.
|
| Now look at you, what you been up to, since I saw you last?
|
| Your hair’s a mess, you’re half-dressed, you’re loaded and you’re fadin’fast.
|
| All the dreams, you had of wealth and fame,
|
| You took to the city, what a shame, they’re all shattered, now your heart’s in pain.
|
| Makin love for a livin', you’ve given up, all you’ve got’s a heart of stone.
|
| Makin’the most of a sad situation, Paradise Alley’s your home.
|
| Paradise Alley, what a way to be alone,
|
| Paradise Alley, a thousand miles away from home, yeah.
|
| Lookin’back, I still recall the time,
|
| I wonder how in the world was it so easy to be so unkind.
|
| Will you be sorry when you realize the story has to end this way?
|
| Lost in the night, never quite getting used to all the games they play.
|
| You wait in vain, and your heart’s in pain,
|
| And dreams are all you have to hold on to.
|
| You’re losin’touch and it hurts so much,
|
| To think of all the love I had for you.
|
| Paradise Alley, what a way to be alone,
|
| Paradise Alley, a thousand miles away from home, yeah.
|
| Paradise Alley, what a way to be alone.
|
| Paradise Alley, a thousand miles away from home.
|
| Paradise Alley, what a place to call your home,
|
| Paradise Alley, what a way to be alone, yeah. |
