Too many nights on the town Too many times when the lines were down She's a long way from home It's a long way to run She spends her days at the ritz Waiting in silence before the night hits She's a long way from home It's a long way to run A stranger in paradise she's just like a fool in love An angel in her demise it's a thin disguise Just doesn't hide all the pain She'll stand by her alibi she's just like a fool in love Defend it with jealous eyes but she never lies She just denies it Oh doesn't she know she can never win The state she's in - she's lucky she still knows how to cry Love is alive if she'd only see There's enough for her there's enough for me You say how much for the 'cain, she says I don't deal, I just play the game I'm a long way from home it's a long way to run Oh, oh, oh she's just like a fool in love I saw her yesterday she looked Tired and alone as she walked away I said You're a long way from home It's along way to run A stranger in paradise she's just like a fool in love An angel in her demise it's a thin disguise Just doesn't hide all the pain She'll stand by her alibi she's just like a fool in love Defend it with jealous eyes but she never lies She just denies it A stranger in paradise she's just like a fool in love An angel in her demise it's a thin disguise Just doesn't hide all the pain
