I got a good friend who's got a good life He's got two pretty children and a real nice wife Yet 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 ain't always greener on the other side 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 anyone's gonna trust Then what Where you gonna turn When you can't turn back for the bridges you've burned And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt Then what, oh then what I ain't sayin' that lookin's a crime I've done my share from time to time It don't mean that you got to take that leap When you're standin' on the brink Before you jump you gotta step back and think There's a price for every promise you don't keep 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 anyone's gonna trust Then what Where you gonna turn When you can't turn back for the bridges you've burned And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt Then what, oh then what But do what you want do what you wish It's your life but remember this There's bound to be some consequences For sneakin' under certain fences 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 anyone's gonna trust Then what Where you gonna turn When you can't turn back for the bridges you've burned And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt Then what, oh then what
