I should be feelin' so happy
to wake up each day in the sun
But I can't seem to raise a smile
since this day's begun
'Cos when you're feelin' so lonely,
there's just one thing you need
Dark days in paradise,
dark days indeed

I followed her to the airport,
I got down on my knees
But she just stood there smiling,
ignoring all my pleas
Then she left me so lonely,
it made my poor heart bleed
Dark days in paradise,
dark days indeed
M-hm

I tried drinkin' that white rum,
I tried some black stuff too
But it don't make no difference
when I'm so far from you
'Cos when you're feeling so lonely,
there's just one thing you need
Dark days in paradise,
dark days indeed

Dark days in paradise,
dark days indeed
Dark days indeed
Dark days indeed
