Sherry's living in paradise   Slinging drinks at a bar down by the beach   And you know she came here from L.A.   Southern California could not hold her dreams   She's happy now it seems      'Cause Sherry's living, living in paradise   Chasing something or running from something   Had a lot of lovers that were good for nothing   And she's thought about leaving once or twice   But she's still in the sun and this laid-back life   Sherry's living in paradise      Sherry's living in paradise   Somehow the salty air, it soothes her soul   Says it makes her whole   She gets hit on by the tourists   But she brushes it off 'cause she's heard every line   She just takes it in stride      'Cause sherry's living, living in paradise   Chasing something or running from something   Had a lot of lovers that were good for nothing   And she's thought about leaving once or twice   But she's still in the sun and this laid-back life   Sherry's living in paradise      She's thought about leaving once or twice   But she's still in the sun and this laid-back life   Sherry's living in paradise
