[Verse 1]
I got the ice
You got the fire
I've got the stuff
To take you higher
Ahhh, that's how you played it
I got the brains
You got the money
This is a race
Let's go fast, honey
Ahhh, that's how you played it

[Verse 2]
Come on pretty baby
I'll be takin' you down
They say you got crazy
Like, all over town

[Chorus]
Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side
Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
But there's no you
Except in my dreams tonight

[Verse 3]
I got the brains
You got the money
This is a race
Let's go fast honey
Ahhh, that's how you played it
Come on pretty baby
I'll be takin' you down
They say you got crazy
Like, all over town

[Chorus]
Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side
Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
But there's no you
Except in my dreams tonight

[Outro]
Oh oh oh oh, ha ha ha ha
I don't wanna wake up from this tonight
Oh oh oh oh, ha ha ha ha
I don't wanna wake up from this tonight
