Al Jarreau - Trouble In Paradise Lyrics






When it appears your love is finally on the line,
And you can't hold it back much longer
And when it seems as though you're runnin' out of time,
That's the time you should be stronger,
Well, if you care about her - don't you ever doubt her love,
Would you turn around and throw it all away,
Just let her know today.

[Chorus:]
That it looks like trouble in paradise,
And you're burnin' alone, that's cold as ice,
Go out and find a flame - so you can warm it up again.

May you always have somebody to depend on,
And may your days be celebrations,
And may there always be an angel on your shoulder,
To cut that awkward situation.
And if you love each other - you'll never need another, oh no,
When the whole wide world has finally got you down,
She'll still be around.

[Chorus:]
That it looks like trouble in paradise,
And you're burnin' alone, that's cold as ice,
Go out and find a flame - so you can warm it up again.

[repeat and fade]

    S.... W....

    God bless that baby!

    S.... W....

    RIP that was also the year i was born 73, that really hits home i remember 83 so well. 4th and 5th grade.

  82. Q.... ....

    I LOVE that guitar sound! Anybody know any songs with a similar sound? I've heard a few other songs kinda close, usually made around roughly the same time period & I see the terms AOR & WEST COAST associated with them... some guy named Steve Kipner & his song called "the ending"... can't recall others off the top of my head at the moment. I vaguely remember 1 or more TV show themes from the late 70s or early 80s that felt similar, but I can't remember which shows... uuugh

    Q.... ....

    Daryl Stuemer (Genisis) has a similar sound. He's particularly good on a song called Good Guys, Bad Guys, by Jean Luc Ponty. He also does the guitar solo at the end of Happy Robots, from the same album.

    Q.... ....

    @Quizfilter....The guitarist on this track is Jay Graydon, an excellent session player who you can listen to further on various Steely Dan tracks and possibly his own albums too.Hope this helps...

  83. B.... F....

    Tous les titres de cet album sont top.

  84. J.... B....

    Love this man!

  85. B.... F....

    This song just makes you feel like living is easy to bear. Thanks Al for all the feel good music.

    B.... F....

    I couldn't help it crying listening to his songs because I learn to scat from here so God bless you all

  86. c.... v....
