Just Like Paradise / Poison - Nothin' But A Good Time Lyrics
David Lee Roth
Lyrics
Rockin' steady in her daddy's car
She got the stereo with the big guitars
And that's all right
I got the itch and a restless soul
She gone with the wind
Gonna go for broke tonight, yeah
And that's all night
Girl, we've been meant for this
Since we were born
No problems now, the coast is clear
It's just the calm before the storm
This must be just like livin' in paradise
(Just like paradise)
And I don't want to go home
(And I don't wanted to go)
This must be just like livin' in paradise
And I don't want to go home
Suzy, Suzy, girl, for cryin' out loud
You got all the right moves
You make me eat my heart out nightly
That's all right with me
No special favors, make it out to cash
We'll spend it later
Got to make this romance last
That's it, that's it
Some folks say, "Easy come is easy go"
And some folks say
But one night ain't enough for me
Girl, hang on tight and don't let go
This must be just like livin' in paradise
(It's just like paradise)
And I don't want to go home
(And I ain't never goin' home)
This must be just like livin' in paradise
(Just like, just like paradise)
And I don't want to go home
This must be just like livin' in paradise
(In paradise, paradise)
And I don't want to go home
(And I don't, I don't want to go home)
This must be just like livin' in paradise
Just like, just like paradise
And I don't want to go home
This must be just like livin' in paradise
(Just like, just like paradise)
And I don't want to go home
(Just like, just like paradise)
This must be just like livin' in paradise
