Lyrics
VERSE
Dang, ladies, he was lookin' good
Kinda bad wanted to check under his hood
I hate to say it, but don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I was lookin' for Dr. Feelgood
VERSE
He took me to the sky; mmm, we were flyin' high
But the ride got rough on the way down
He started treatin' me like some kinda clown
But a bad goodbye can be a good lesson to live by
First CHORUS
(Now) ('Cause) he was the wrong kind of paradise
Some kinda cool but at what price?
He burned me once then he burned me twice
He was not very nice, so I'm back to lookin' for the right guy
'Cause he was the wrong kind of paradise
VERSE
I thought he had everything I was lookin' for
Attitudes and latitudes; uh huh, goin' full bore
Then came a side I hadn't seen before
You know, love does not have to be the third world war
Second CHORUS
(Now) (Yeah) he was the wrong kind of paradise
I should've taken my own advice
Rollin' those dice was a big-time sacrifice
The price was too high; back to lookin' for the right guy
'Cause he was the wrong kind of paradise
BRIDGE
Bad boy, bad boy, why couldn't I see through him?
Ladies, look out; you might want to be a bit careful what you wish for
Repeat First CHORUS
Repeat Second CHORUS
