Well I've got a good friend who's got a good life He's got three pretty children and a real nice wife Yet he never seemed quite satisfied Well I said I know what's on your mind But you'd better think about it 'for you cross that line The grass ain't always greener on the other side Then what? Whatcha gonna do when the new wears off and the old shines through? And it ain't really love and it ain't really lust? 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? Whoa-ho then what? Well I ain't saying that I'm looking to crime I've done my share from time to time That don't mean that you gotta take that league When you're standing on the brink Before you jump you gotta step back and think There's a price for every promise you don't keep Whoa Then what? Whatcha gonna do when the new wears off and the old shines through? And it ain't really love and it ain't really lust? 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? Whoa-ho then what? Do what you want do what you wish It's your life but remember this There's bound to be some consequences sneaking under other's fences Whoa Then what? Whatcha gonna do when the new wears off and the old shines through? And it ain't really love and it ain't really lust? 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? Whoa-ho then what? Yo man!
