She pours a devil martini
In a hand-cut crystal glass
She looks in a mirror
And thinks about her past
Small town she left behind
Guess her dreams will all come true
'Cause she's made it this far
Paradise Avenue
She married a man with money
Like she said she always would
The guarded house up on the hill
In the finest neighborhood
He's always gone, and he don't know
What it is, she's going through
What a lonely night, on Paradise Avenue
On Paradise Avenue
A heart can break in two
When the one that you love
Doesn't have any time for you
Up on Paradise Avenue
Was she better off small-town fool?
Oh, there's trouble tonight
On Paradise avenue
Her hands begin to tremble
As she picks up the phone
She swore last time was the last time
'Cause she knows that it's wrong
And he is the best friend
That her husband never knew
But she's fallin' in a trap
On Paradise Avenue
Up on Paradise Avenue
A heart can break in two
When the one that you love
Doesn't have any time for you
Up on Paradise Avenue
Was she better off small-town fool?
Oh, there's trouble tonight
On Paradise avenue
On Paradise Avenue
She was better off small-town fool
Oh, there's trouble tonight
On Paradise avenue
