[Verse 1]
Let me tell you this
Your love I can't resist
I just start to fantasize
Every time I look into your eyes
I want to laugh and talk
And say the words you long to hear
I want to fill you up with so much love
The real world will just disappear

[Chorus]
Let me take you to a place I call paradise
Hold you in my arms every day and night
Tell you all the things that I really feel
Show you that my love is for real
Let me take you to paradise
Take you to paradise

[Verse 2]
Let me be your guide
On a magic carpet ride
To a place where love is pure
And our passions can endure
I want you to close your eyes and realize
A world for two
I want you to hear me whisper in your ear
I want to make love to you

[Chorus]
Let me take you to a place I call paradise
Hold you in my arms every day and night
Tell you all the things that I really feel
Show you that my love is for real
Let me take you to paradise
Take you to paradise
Take you to paradise
Take you to paradise

[Bridge]
Do you want to go?
Don't you want to know?
About a real love, oh
Give me just some time
You'll like what you find
I know, yeah yeah, yeah
It's so plain to me
We were meant to be
I want to show you, baby, yeah
We'll unlock all of life's mysteries
And realize how great our love can really be
Let me take you to paradise
Take you to paradise
Take you to paradise
Take you to paradise

[Outro]
Doo-doo-oh (Let me take you to paradise)
Doo-doo-oh (Let me take you to paradise)
Doo-doo-oh (Let me take you to paradise)
Doo-doo-oh (Let me take you to paradise)
Doo-doo-oh (Let me take you to paradise)
Doo-doo-oh (Let me take you to paradise)
Take me to paradise
(Let me take you to paradise)
Take me to paradise
(Let me take you to paradise)
Won't you take me to paradise
(Let me take you to paradise)
