Every day my friends say
I'm in the worst kind of trouble
But they talk in vain
I ain't listening, I listed too often

Where they get their wisdom, I shall never know
And I can't believe my ears
There's fifty people telling me to give it up
But I don't want to hear

Fortune tellers, seeing omens
And writings on walls
I think they falsify, they mean to see me cry
They offer less than my hopes

Where they get their magic, I shall never know
And I can't believe my eyes
They push the rainbows out and give you stormy skies
But I don't want to know

I'm living in a fool's paradise
I'm living on false hope and lies
I'm gonna be rejected, let down expect it
I'm living in a fool's paradise

I'm living in a fool's paradise
I'm living on false hope and lies
I'm gonna be rejected, let down expect it
I'm living in a fool's paradise

My baby say, "It's all alright"
That's good enough for me
Say, "Pay no heed to idle minds"
They're all romancers

My baby say, "It's all alright"
That's good enough for me
Say, "Pay no heed to idle minds"
They're all romancers, romancers
Romancers, romancers
