She calls out to the man on the street Sir, can you help me? It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep Is there somewhere you can tell me? He walks on, doesn't look back He pretends he can't hear her Starts to whistle as he crosses the street Seems embarrassed to be there Oh, think twice 'Cause it's another day for you and me in paradise Oh, think twice 'Cause it's another day for you You and me in paradise Think about it She calls out to the man on the street He can see she's been crying She's got blisters on the soles of her feet She can't walk, but she's trying Oh, think twice 'Cause it's another day for you and me in paradise Oh, think twice It's just another day for you You and me in paradise Just think about it Oh, Lord Is there nothing more anybody can do? Oh, Lord There must be something You can say You can tell from the lines on her face You can see that she's been there Probably been moved on from every place 'Cause she didn't fit in there Oh, think twice 'Cause it's another day for you and me in paradise Oh, think twice It's just another day for you You and me in paradise Just think about it Think about it It's just another day For you and me in paradise It's just another day For you and me in paradise (para–paradise) Paradise Uh, just think about it Paradise Just think about it (para–paradise) Paradise In paradise

A faixa foi gravada em 1989 como o primeiro single do álbum número‑um "But Seriously", marcando a transição de Phil Collins de um pop dançante para um tema social sério, abordando a questão da falta de moradia.
A canção ficou conhecida como a última música a alcançar o topo da Billboard Hot 100 nos anos 80 e a primeira a fazê‑lo nos anos 90, consolidando o sucesso de Collins como artista solo.
Em 1991, Collins e o vocalista David Crosby apresentaram o tema no Grammy Awards; a performance foi posteriormente incluída no álbum de compilação “Grammy’s Greatest Moments Volume I” (1994).
O single recebeu o Grammy de Record of the Year em 1991, além de várias indicações: Song of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Performance (Male) e Best Music Video, Short Form, demonstrando seu impacto tanto musical quanto visual.
A música foi premiada como British Single no Brit Awards de 1990 e, em 2009, foi colocada em 86º lugar na lista “Greatest Songs of All Time” da Billboard.
Apesar de seu sucesso comercial e de prêmios, a composição gerou controvérsia e críticas desfavoráveis devido ao seu tratamento da temática da homocrasia.
