Texty: Mandy Moore. Wild Hope. Slummin' In Paradise.

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
