Lyrics

Broken hearts / can’t shake away
Memories / from better days
You got all / that you need
But here you are / on bended knee

CHORUS
With open arms up to the sky
You cry out and ask me why
When will you realize?
To get to paradise,
You gotta get a little black and blue.

Lose a job, lose a wife,
Lose all your money, but you’re still alive.
Every wave has its other side
Pleasure and pain / come with the tide

CHORUS
With open arms up to the sky
You cry out and ask me why
When will you realize?
To get to paradise,
You gotta get a little black and blue.

(INSTRUMENTAL)

Before the sun there is the rain
Always a chance to live again
But you got to realize
To get to paradise,
You gotta get a little black and blue.
