Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Girl, try to remember when we didn't have no shoes
We stuck together, just me and you
It took a long time to get what we got today
Now you wanna give it all up for another guy
[Verse 2]
Baby, I'm tellin' you
Don't let the green grass fool you
Don't let it change your mind
[Verse 3]
It's gonna be hard for me, baby, to build my life all over
'Cause, baby, you got the love that I really need, ooh yeah
'Cause if you leave, leave me this way, baby
You know what? I may not live to see a brand new day
[Verse 4]
Oh, baby
Don't let the green grass fool you
Don't let it change your mind
You know why
It may be greener on the other side, baby
But right in my arms is where you belong
[Verse 5]
Mmm
Ooh, baby
Oh
[Verse 6]
Ah!
Don't let the green grass fool you
Don't let it change your mind, oh, baby
It may be greener on the other side, baby
But, ah, right in my arms, where you belong, babe
Got, got to feel it
[Verse 7]
Don't let the green grass fool you, baby
Ah, good Lord, you know ya, ah hey (Don't let it change your mind)
(Greener on the other side) No, don't, don't let it fool you
Baby, in my arms is where you belong, yeah
