I'm a long way off
But still around
Sitting on the couch
I'm watching you
And if I take my time
All the others give in
And you feel like
You're standing in line
Oh no no no
I just know that you're
Worth the wait
It's of no concern
It's a risk I'd gladly take
From time to time
So don't worry about
Yourself at all
I'll hang your work up
On my wall
Hose you down
And dress you up real nice
With some brand new plans
And a fancy car
Try to place your superstar
You can tell
The story of your life
Without slummin' in paradise
I wonder how you feel
Or do I
Standing on the corner
How's your view
From the other side
Oh Mr. Right
See it's not
A pretty sight alone
So don't worry about
Yourself at all
I'll hang your work up
On my wall
Hose you down
And dress you up real nice
With some brand new plans
And a fancy car
Try to place your superstar
You can tell
The story of your life
Without slummin' in paradise
You won't often
See this letter
Handed over right away
I know the first time
I found you wonderful
So don't worry about
Yourself at all
I'll hang your work up
On my wall
Hose you down
And dress you up real nice
With some brand new plans
And a fancy car
Try to place your superstar
You can tell
The story of your life
Without slummin' in paradise
Slummin' in paradise
Slummin' in paradise
