Had to get away I couldn't stand another dreary day/ of people with the same expression on each face/ guess I needed
to find some secret place/ I bought a round trip cheap/ I broke my lease and gave away my heap/ I flew down to Tahiti where soft breezes blow,and I rented a grass roof bungalow/
There I met an island girl so fair/ she was the child of a dream, We both wore flowers in the hair/ bathing each day in the stream/ perfums around and everywhere/ Out of the sea she came to me, suddenly we were vis-a vis/ love beneath a mango tree, under the tahitian moon/Now I'm saving my way back to you Tahiti, take me in your arms again/ I knew I couldn't stay, I couldn't stay another perfect day, of leaving in this paradise without an end/ guess I needed to feel confused again/ I promised to return/the tears upon her cheeks began to burn/ she handed me a note I promised not to lose/It's the love/ it's the pain you can't refuse/There /I left my island girl so fair/she was the child of a dream/ (repeating ...)
