A B Good and lost in a fool's paradise. (Verse two: Repeat above) When you told me that you loved me, I gave my heart to you. And I wondered if there could be any truth in love so new. I was lost in a fools paradise. Good and lost in a fool's paradise.Verse three: Repeat first Well you treat me kinda coolish and may never let me know That you think I'm being fooling because I love you so I'll still get lost in a fool's paradise. Lost with you in a fool's paradise.A The whole world was my kingdom E And your love the gem in my crown. B Then I saw you glance at a new romance A And my love came tumbling down.
