One, two, one, two, three There is a park that is known For the face it attracts Colorful people whose hair On 1 side is swept back The smile on their faces It speaks of profound inner peace Ask where they're going They'll tell you nowhere They've taken a lifetime lease On Paisley Park The girl on the seesaw is laughing For love is the color This place imparts (Paisley Park) Admission is easy, just say you Believe and come to this Place in your heart Paisley Park is in your heart There is a woman who sits All alone by the pier Her husband was naughty And caused his wife so many tears He died without knowing forgiveness And now she is sad, so sad Maybe she'll come to the park And forgive him And life won't be so bad In Paisley Park The girl on the seesaw is laughing For love is the color This place imparts (Paisley Park) Admission is easy, just say you Believe and come to this Place in your heart Paisley Park is in your heart See the man cry as the city Condemns where he lives Memories die but taxes He'll still have to give (Who) Whoever said that elephants Were stronger than mules? Come 2 the park And play with us There aren't any rules In Paisley Park The girl on the seesaw is laughing For love is the color This place imparts (Paisley Park) Admission is easy, just say you Believe and come to this Place in your heart Paisley Park is in your heart The girl on the seesaw is laughing For love is the color This place imparts (Paisley Park) Admission is easy, just say you Believe and come to this Place in your heart Paisley Park is in your heart Your heart, your heart Paisley Park Your heart, your heart, your heart (sing, sing it) Paisley Park
