She was her daddy's girl with her momma's smile A country boy's dream she was a loveless child She had a restless heart for the city lights She left her country days for the city nights
There's just too many heartaches in paradise There's just too much to pay... too high a price You can spend all your love and never think twice There's just too many heartaches in paradise
She loved those daydreams... the sunsets The endless wine... the french cigarettes And then she fell in love with a rich man's life He used her up like his merchandise
There's just too many heartaches in paradise There's just too much to pay... too high a price You can spend all your love and never think twice There's just too many heartaches in paradise
Like a fallen star in the night Another broken heart fades out of sight She's goin' back home
There's just too many heartaches in paradise There's just too much to pay... too high a price You can spend all your love and never think twice There's just too many heartaches Too many heartaches There's just too many heartaches In paradise
