Lyrics
The place where I Should have been Is paradise On earth. The place where I Should have been Is paradise On earth. The place where I Should have been Is paradise On earth. The place where I Should have been Is paradise On earth.
The place where I Should have been Is paradise On earth.
The place where I Should have been Is paradise On earth. The place where I Should have been Is paradise On earth. The place where I
If I were only Somewhere else but in This lousy World.
Invariably I arrive at the Wrong time In the wrong place. Wherever I am It is the Wrong place. It's not where I Should be.
Because it's the wrong Place I want to be someplace Else.
I always want to be in The place where I Should have been.
The place where I Should have been Is paradise On earth.
