I got a good friend who's got a good life
He's got too pretty children and a real nice wife
Yet he never seem quite satisfied
I said I know what's on your mind
But you better think about it before
You cross that line
The grass ain't always greener on the other side
Chorus:
Then what? What you gonna do
When the new wears off and the old shines through
And it ain't really love and it ain't really lust
And you ain't anybody, anybody's gonna trust
Then what? Where you gonna turn
When you can't turn back from the bridges you've burned
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt
Then what? Oh then what
I ain't saying that looking's a crime
I've done my share from time to time
It don't mean that you've got to take that leap
When you're standing on the brink
Before you jump you better step back and think
There's a price for every promise you don't keep
SOLO: A E A B
Repeat chorus:
But do what you want do what you wish
It's your life, but remember this
There's bound to be some consequences
For sneaking under cross fences
Repeat chorus:
