Billy's home, he just back from L.A.
Plenty of lines but nothing to say, he said, "I
Seen this movie and it don't end nice"
Looks like trouble in paradise

He used to be cool, he used to laugh a lot
Down at The Brother's in the parking lot
Now he's sick and he's scared and he's paying the price

Trouble in paradise
(Trouble in paradise)
Mama said he always was so nice
Trouble in paradise

American son, he's not very old
An American dream that's never been sold
The smile on his face is his last disguise
We've got trouble in paradise

There's a scream inside that shouts, "here I am"
Some people say we got to do all we can
Me, I don't know, you see, I've been there myself once or twice

Trouble in paradise
(Trouble in paradise)
Mama said he always was so nice
Trouble in paradise
I'm in trouble, I'm in trouble

(Trouble in paradise)
Mama said he always was so nice
(Trouble in paradise)
I'm in trouble, I'm in trouble

(Trouble in paradise)
(Trouble in paradise)
(Trouble in paradise)
(Trouble in paradise)
(Trouble in paradise)
