Well I got a good friend who's got a good life,
He's got two pretty children and a real nice wife,
But he never seems quite satisfied.
I said I know what's on your mind,
But you better think about it before you cross that line,
The grass aint always greener on the other side.
Then what, what you gonna do,
When the new wears off and the old shines through,
And it aint really love and it aint really lust,
You aint anybody anyone's gonna trust,
Then what, where you gonna turn,
When you cant turn back for the bridges you burn,
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt,
Then what.
Well I aint saying that looking's a crime,
Well I've done my share from time to time,
It dont mean that you gotta take that leap.
When you're standin' on the brink,
Before you jump you gotta step back and think,
There's price for ever promise you dont keep.
Then what, what you gonna do,
When the new wears off and the old shines through,
And it aint really love and it aint really lust,
You aint anybody anyone's gonna trust,
Then what, where you gonna turn,
When you cant turn back for the bridges you burn,
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt,
Then what.
Do want you want, do want you wish,
It's your life but remember this,
There's bound to be some consequences,
Sneaking under other fences.
Then what, what you gonna do,
When the new wears off and the old shines through,
And it aint really love and it aint really lust,
You aint anybody anyone's gonna trust,
Then what, where you gonna turn,
When you cant turn back for the bridges you burn,
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt,
Then what.
