[Verse 1: Dennis Mansfeld]
There are couple things I wish I had just changed back then
You loved me, I loved you, so why no happy ending?
But then our egos were too big to fit just in one mouth
The cold world's been getting loud

[Pre-Chorus: Dennis Mansfeld]
You used to lay your head right on my shoulder
Dreaming of getting older
How could I let this go bad?
Thinking that if I had

[Chorus: Dennis Mansfeld]
Known things a little bit before
Then all our problems wouldn't have made it through the door
Ooh, was that something real in something right?
Or was that just a fool's paradise?
Or was that just a fool's paradise?

[Drop: Dennis Mansfeld]
Or was I just a fool's paradise?
Or was I just a fool's paradise?

[Verse 2: Dennis Mansfeld]
Once we got out of our self-desired pillowcase
We let things between us, it's always a mista-ake
But if that love of ours and it's measured somewhat differently
I guess that page, we couldn't keep

[Pre-Chorus: Dennis Mansfeld]
You used to lay your head right on my shoulder
Dreaming of getting older
How could I let this go bad?
Thinking that if I had

[Chorus: Dennis Mansfeld]
Known things a little bit before
Then all our problems wouldn't have made it through the door
Ooh, was that something real in something right
Or was I just a fool's paradise?
Or was I just a fool's paradise?
[Drop: Dennis Mansfeld]
Or was I just a fool's paradise?
Or was I just a fool's paradise?

[Bridge: Dennis Mansfeld]
If I had known things
Then all our problems
If I had known things a little bit before
Then all our problems wouldn't have made it through the door
Ooh, was that something real in something right
Or was I just a fool's paradise?

[Drop: Dennis Mansfeld]
Or was I just a fool's paradise?
Or was I just a fool's paradise?
