I'm a long way off but still around   Sitting on the couch, I'm watching you   And if I take my time, all the others give in   And you feel like you're standing in line   Oh, no, no, no      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      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   And try to place your superstar   You can tell the story of your life   Without slummin' in paradise      I wonder how you feel, oh, do I?   Standing on the corner, how's your view?   From the other side, oh, Mr. Right   See, it's not a pretty sight alone      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   And try to place your superstar   You can tell the story of your life   Without slummin' in paradise      You won't often see this letter   Handed over right away   I know the first time I found you wonderful      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   And try to place your superstar   You can tell the story of your life   Without slummin' in paradise      Slummin' in paradise   Slummin' in paradise
