Janie got a present late one Christmas day
|
Immaculate conception one could hardly say
|
She took her little baby and all her daddy's cash
|
The guilt stayed forever but the money didn't last
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
Tell me no more secrets
|
Tell me no more lies
|
When the road you thought you were on
|
Ain't the road to paradise
|
|
She said, "What's so lonely about being alone
|
I've got this little boy that I can call my own"
|
"Tomorrow," she said, "we're gonna start a new life"
|
She stared out the window and she turned out the light
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
Paradise
|
It's funny it ain't much like...
|
Leave that girl alone to live her life
|
She's been around enough to know what's wrong or right
|
|
You don't gotta tell her
|
You don't gotta tell her it's alright
|
|
Janie got pregnant she was the queen of our class
|
Hot little romance but it didn't last
|
Last time I saw her it was Thanksgiving day
|
She was trading in her food stamps at the IGA
|
|
CHORUS
|

Road to Paradise
