[Verse 1]
Lonely people gathering there to be one
Gonna be the last time wasted
Gonna be seen to be gone
Run a mile for the minute
Gonna mind another day without you in it and you

[Chorus]
You promised me paradise
Don't go back on your word
No, you
You promised me paradise

[Verse 2]
All my days of loving you under my skin
Gonna be a wild, wild world
When nobody wants to give in
Gonna call me on the hour
Gonna mind if I don't hear it
I would hate to be you

[Chorus]
You promised me paradise
Don't go back on your word
No, you
You promised me paradise
[Bridge]
Can you tell me if there's gonna be another reason to cry?
Will I be the last to know?
Unless we make another way of doing what we do we won't believe it anymore
Will I be the one to cry?

[Verse 3]
Problems, problems haunting me, circle my head
Gonna be a wild world, let me hide away under your bed
Run a mile for the minute
Gonna mind another day without you in it and you

[Chorus]
You promised me paradise
Don't go back on your word
No, you
You promised me paradise
You promised me paradise

[Outro]
Ahhh...
Ahhh...
You promised me paradise
You promised me paradise
You promised me paradise
You promised me paradise
