And I said Where, anywhere, tell me where 'cause I'm scared If I'm here then I'll never see paradise I just wanna see paradise So I had to leave to see How good I had it, I had it I had to go to know How good I had it Would you have me if I come back home Nothing better than my mama rice and beans All the sound, the people yellin' on the street But life's when I land at JFK The cold wind when it hits me in my face I only feel the ground under my feet when Jazzy standin' right there next to me and Those the things that make me feel at home And that's the only paradise I know, so I had to leave to see How good I have it, I have it I had to go to know How good I have it (How good I have it) I have it (So I'm comin' home) Nothing better than my mama rice and beans (Ooh, ooh, I'm comin' home) All the sound, the people yellin' on the street But life's when I land at JFK (Oh, I'm comin' home) The cold wind when it hits me in my face I only feel the ground under my feet when Jazzy standin' right there next to me and (Yeah, I'm gon' come back home) Those the things that make me feel at home And that's the only paradise I know, so (I'm comin' home)
