Visions Of Paradise
Jagger Mick Lyrics

Don't tell me when something is beautiful
I don't want you to impose your idea of beauty on me, let me decide for myself.

And don't tell me how to talk to my friends
I don't want you to control how I interact with my friends, let me be myself.

Just tell me the names of the stars in the sky
I want to learn from you, I want to know what you know.

What's your favorite song
I want to know more about you, what you like, what makes you happy.

Tell me the names of the lovers you had
I want to know everything about you, your past, and what shaped you into the person you are today.

Before I came along
I want to know who you were before I entered your life, I want to understand you better.

Don't put your arms around me
I don't want to be constrained or bound by your physical affection.

And don't hold me tight
I want the freedom to move, to breathe, to feel like I'm not trapped.

'Cause I could get used to your vision of paradise
I'm afraid that if I get too comfortable with you, I'll lose sight of what's truly important to me.

And don't ask me where all of the pain goes
I don't want to have to explain my emotions or justify my feelings to you.

'Cause you make me feel that I don't know myself
You confuse me, you make me question who I am and what I really want.

You say that you want me forever and I
You're making promises that are hard to keep, that are too idealistic.

I say that love is no crime
I believe that love should be pure and genuine, not tainted by external expectations or societal norms.

So tell me the names of the children we'll have
I want to discuss our future together, to dream about what our lives could be like.

At the end of the line
I want to be with you until the end of this life, to cherish every moment together.

And don't let me near the garden
Don't expose me to temptation or make me feel like I'm missing out on something.

Of earthly delights
I don't want to be caught up in the pleasures of this world, I want to focus on the things that truly matter.

Just use your heart not your head
I want you to feel your emotions deeply, to be passionate and true to yourself.

While I fall apart in my bed
I'm struggling with my own demons, my own self-doubts and insecurities.

I find myself aching for you
Despite my fears and doubts, I still want to be with you.

I feel myself breaking in two
I'm torn between my desire to be with you and my fear of losing myself in you.

So don't tell me when I should come on home
I want the freedom to come and go as I please, to follow my own path.

There might be a time you don't want me around
I don't want to be dependent on you, I want the choice to leave if I need to.

So don't build your world around me
Don't make me the center of your universe, don't lose sight of your own dreams and aspirations.

And don't hold me tight
I need space to grow, to challenge myself, to learn who I am.

'Cause I could get used to your vision of paradise
If I stay with you for too long, I might lose sight of my own vision of paradise.
