I don't like those other guys looking at your curves
|
I don't like you walking round with physical jerks
|
Everything they say and do is getting on my nerves
|
Soon they will be lucky to be picking up the perks
|
|
'Cause when they pull the shutters down
|
and throw up in the dark,
|
they'll find that all the dogs outside
|
bite much worse than they bark.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Here we are living in paradise,
|
living in luxury.
|
Oh, the thrill is here but it won't last long
|
You better have your fun before it moves along
|
And you're already looking for another,
|
fool like me.
|
|
I call you Betty Felon 'cause you are a pretty villain
|
And I think that I should tell them that you'd
|
make a pretty killing
|
'Cause meanwhile up in heaven they are waiting at the gate
|
saying 'We'd always knew you'd make it,
|
didn't think you'd come this late'.
|
|
And now it's much too dangerous to stop what you've begun
|
When everyone in paradise carries a gun
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Later in the evening when arrangements are made,
|
I'll be at the keyhole outside your bedroom door.
|
'Cause I'm the first to know whenever the plans are laid
|
that never go further than floor to floor.
|
|
You think that I don't know the boy that you're touching,
|
but I'll be at the video and I will be watching
|
|
[Chorus]
|
