MANDY MOORE
"Slummin' In Paradise"
(Mandy Moore / James Renald)

I'm a long way off
But I'm still around
Sitting on the couch, I'm watching you
And if I take my time
All the others give in
And you still feel like you're standing in line
Oh no no no

[Pre-Chorus:]
I just know that you're worth the wait
It's of no concern
It's a risk I'd gladly take
From time to time

[Chorus:]
So don't worry about yourself at all
I'll hang your work up on my wall
Hose you down and dress you up real nice
With some brand new plans and a fancy car
Try to place your superstar
You can tell the story of your life
Without slummin' in paradise

I wonder how you feel
Or do I?
Standing on the corner
How's your view?
From the other side
Oh, Mr. Right
It's not a pretty sight alone

[Chorus:]
So don't worry about yourself at all
I'll hang your work up on my wall
Hose you down and dress you up real nice
With some brand new plans and a fancy car
Try to place your superstar
You can tell the story of your life
Without slummin' in paradise

[Bridge:]
You won't often see this letter
Handed over right away
I know the first time I found you wonderful

[Chorus:]
So don't worry about yourself at all
I'll hang your work up on my wall
Hose you down and dress you up real nice
With some brand new plans and a fancy car
Try to place your superstar
You can tell the story of your life
Without slummin' in paradise

[Outro:]
Oh-oh, slummin'
Slummin' in paradise
Oh
