Lyrics The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Too Many Heartaches in Paradise

She was her daddy's girl with her mama's smile

A country boy's dream, she was a lover's child

She had a restless heart for the city lights

Left her country days for the city nights.

There's just too many heartaches in paradise

There's just too much to pay, too high a price

You can spend all your love and never think twice

There's just too many heartaches in paradise .

She loved those daydreams, sunsets

The endless wine, french cigarettes

Then she fell in love with a rich man's lies

He just used her up like his merchandise.

There's just too many heartaches in paradise

There's just too much to pay, too high a price

You can spend all your love and never think twice

There's just too many heartaches in paradise.

Like a fallin' star in the night

Another broken heart fades out of sight

She's goin', she's goin' home.

Oh, there's just too many heartaches in paradise

There's just too much to pay, too high a price

You can spend all your love and never think twice

There's just too many heartaches

Too many heartaches

Just too many heartaches in paradise, oooh.
