CYou took me up to heaven when you took me in your arms
I was Fdazzled by your kisses blinded by your charms
I was G7lost (I was lost) in a fool's paraCdise (fool’s paradise)
G7Good and lost (good and lost) in a fool's paraCdise
When you told me that you loved me I gave my heart to you
And I Fwondered if there could be any truth in love so new
I was G7lost (I was lost) in a fool’s paraCdise
G7Good and lost (good and lost) in a fool's paraCdise
FThe whole world was my kingdom
And your Clove the gem in my crown
Then I D7saw you glance at a new romance
And my G7love came tumbling down
Well you Ctreat me kinda coolish and may never let me know
That you Fthink I'm being foolish because I love you so
I'll still get G7lost (I’ll still get lost) in a fool's paraCdise
Lost with G7you (lost with you) in a fool's paraCdise
G7Well you Ctreat me kinda coolish and may never let me know
That you Fthink I'm being foolish because I love you so
I'll still get G7lost (I’ll still get lost) in a fool's paraCdise
Lost with G7you (lost with you) in a fool's paraCdise
Lost with G7you (lost with you) in a fool's paraCdise
