Too many nights on the town
Too many times when the lines were down
She's a long way from home
It's a long way to run

She spends her days at the Ritz
Waiting in silence before the night hits
She's a long way from home
It's a long way to run

A stranger in paradise, she's just like a fool in love
An angel in her demise, it's a thin disguise
Just doesn't hide all the pain
She'll stand by her alibi, she's just like a fool in love
Defend it with jealous eyеs, but she never liеs
She just denies it

Oh, doesn't she know she can never win
The state she's in, she's lucky she still knows how to cry
Love is alive if she'd only see
There's enough for her, there's enough for me

You say, "How much for the 'cain?"
She says, "I don't deal, I just play the game
I'm a long way from home
It's a long way to run"
Oh, she's just like a fool in love

I saw her yesterday
She looked tired and alone as she walked away
I said, "You're a long way from home
It's along way to run"

A stranger in paradise, she's just like a fool in love
An angel in her demise, it's a thin disguise
Just doesn't hide all the pain
She'll stand by her alibi, she's just like a fool in love
Defend it with jealous eyes, but she never lies
She just denies it

A stranger in paradise, she's just like a fool in love
An angel in her demise, it's a thin disguise
Just doesn't hide all the pain
She'll stand by her alibi
