Sherry's living in paradise
Slinging drinks at a bar down by the beach
And you know she came here from LA.

Southern California could not hold her dreams
She's happy now it seems


'Cause Sherry's living, living in paradise
Chasing something or running from something
Had a lot of lovers that were good for nothing

And she's thought about leaving once or twice
But she's still in the sun and this laid-back life
Sherry's living in paradise


Sherry's living in paradise
Somehow the salty air, it soothes her soul

Says it makes her whole
She gets hit on by the tourists
But she brushes it off 'cause she's heard every line

She just takes it in stride

'Cause Sherry's living, living in paradise

Chasing something or running from something
Had a lot of lovers that were good for nothing
And she's thought about leaving once or twice

But she's still in the sun and this laid-back life
Sherry's living in paradise


She's thought about leaving once or twice
But she's still in the sun and this laid-back life
Sherry's living in paradise
