VERSE 1:
Lately, you've been distant/ Babe, you've got to know/ That I've tried not to notice/ Cause I'm scared of the truth


We've been doing less talking/ The days turn into weeks/ I know that you've been working/ But baby, how do you sleep?

PRE CHORUS:

While you're over there sleeping/ I'm up all night/ You've got me wondering/ If you've got doubts on your mind

CHORUS:

Oh, I'm hanging on a string/ Trying my best to be wise/ But you know, that's just the thing/ Cause it's hard when there's trouble in Paradise

VERSE 2:

Let's go back to the days when we first met/ Falling asleep on the couch/ Staying up all night talking/ 'Til the sun came out

PRECHORUS:

Now while you're over there sleeping/ I'm up all night/ You've got me worrying/ That those days don't cross your mind anymore

CHORUS:

Of when I was hanging on a string/ Trying me best to take my time/ Now I don't know what to think/ That maybe that's no longer our Paradise

BRIDGE:

Help me to put back the light in your eyes/ Cause I miss the way things used to be/ I need reminding that we'll be alright/ Baby love, won't you come back to me?

Are we hanging on a string?/ I'm trying my best to hang tight/ But I don't know what to think/ When there's no sign of you in this Paradise


CHORUS:
Oh I'm hanging on a string/ Trying my best to be wise/ But, you know -- that's just the thing/ Cause it's hard when there's trouble in Paradise


Yes, it's hard when there's trouble in Paradise/ Baby, you're my idea of Paradise...
