Another Day In Paradise
Phil Collins · Platinum Collection [2004]
"Sir can you help me?
It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep.
Is there somewhere you can tell me?"
He walks on, doesn't look back
He pretends he can't hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there.
Oh, think twice, it's just another day for you and me in Paradise
Oh, think twice, it's just another day for you, you and me in Paradise
Just think about it.
She calls out to the man on the street
He can see shes been crying
She's got blisters on the soles of her feet
She can't walk but she's trying.
Oh, think twice, it's just another day for you and me in Paradise
Oh, think twice, it's just another day for you, you and me in Paradise
Just think about it
Oh Lord, is there nothing more anybody can do?
Oh Lord, there must be something you can say
You can tell from the lines on her face
You can see that she's been there
Probably been moved on from everyplace
Cause she didn't fit in there
Oh, think twice, it's just another day for you and me in Paradise
Oh, think twice, it's just another day for you, you and me in Parardise
Just think about it.
Think about it.
Just another day, for you and me, in Paradise
