Another Girl's Paradise

You caught me lingering in another girl's paradise,
The way she paints the world- I want that in my life.
Emeralds, you should know, are renting in her meadow.
With a stroke beauty lives,
How could I resist, you are Desire.

When it all is said, said and done,
Who can love you and still be standing.
There's Mary calling up a storm.
Can I take from you and not keep taking?
Naked as day Gemma follows him.
Does it all come down to,
The thing one girl fears in the night,
Is another girl's paradise?

Through twists and turns, Jasmine foxed me in her grove.
Arms filled with honey-bells, St. Michael's Sanford Bloods.
"You have come to discover what you want,"
What I want is not to want what isn't mine.
"But I am Desire."

When it all is said, said and done,
Who can love you and still be standing.
There's Mary calling up a storm.
Can I take from you and not keep taking?
Naked as day Gemma follows him.
Does it all come down to,
The thing one girl fears in the night,
Is another girl's paradise?

Ah-ha-ho. Ah-ha ah-ha and I know you keep telling me.
Ah-ha-ha. Ah-ha ah-ha does it all come down to,
The thing one girl fears in the night...
Is another girl, a-is another girl,
A-is another girl's paradise.
