[Verse 1]
Lonely people gathering there to be one
Gonna be the last time wasted
Gonna be seen to be gone
Run a mile for the minute
Gonna mind another day without you in it and you

[Chorus]
You promised me paradise
Don't go back on your word
No, you
You promised me paradise

[Verse 2]
All my days of loving you under my skin
Gonna be a wild, wild world
When nobody wants to give in
Gonna call me on the hour
Gonna mind if I don't hear it
I would hate to be you

[Chorus]
You promised me paradise
Don't go back on your word
No, you
You promised me paradise

[Bridge]
Can you tell me if there's gonna be another reason to cry
Will I be the last to know
Unless we make another way of doing what we do we won't believe it anymore
Will I be the one to cry

[Verse 3]
Problems, problems haunting me, circle my head
Gonna be a wild world, let me hide away under your bed
Run a mile for the minute
Gonna mind another day without you in it and you

[Chorus]
You promised me paradise
Don't go back on your word
No, you
You promised me paradise
You promised me paradise

[Outro]
Ahhh...
Ahhh...
You promised me paradise
You promised me paradise
You promised me paradise
You promised me paradise

The three Gibb brothers were very close as children and spent most of their time together. Barry was born in 1946, and his twin brothers Maurice and Robin were born in 1949. Together, they went on to become one of the most popular bands of the 1970s.

The Bee Gees have sold more than 220 million records worldwide, and functioned as a group almost continuously from 1958 to 2003, when Maurice Gibb suddenly died during a coma.
