They say that the toes that you step on while you're on your way up may be the same ones that you kiss going down Whatever it takes is what you're willing to do but what goes around will come back around There may be room at the top with the cream of the crop but you better be prepared for the hunt becos' the ones you see now at the back of the line where up front, so tell me, are you prepared to make the sacrifice are you strong enough to live your life..like a fool in paradise The things that you say while you're the star of the show will be remembered when your legacy fades so think what to say before you say what you think or learn to live with the mistakes that you've made The gra** is always greener on the other side that's because it's not the side that you're on and all the friends you had when you were number one they're all gone [Chorus] Like a fool in paradise.......I'm a fool in paradise
