Well 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
Well 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
Ain't anybody anyone's gonna trust
Then what where you gonna turn
When you can't turn back for the bridges you burned
They can't wait to kick you in the butt
Then what oh then what
Well I ain't saying that looking's a crime
When I've done my share from time to time
It don't mean that you gotta take that leap
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
Oh 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
Ain't anybody anyone's gonna trust
Then what where you gonna turn
When you can't turn back for the bridges you burned
Fate can't wait to kick you in the butt
Then what oh 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 fences
Oh 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
You ain't anybody anyone's gonna trust
Then what where you gonna turn
When you can't turn back for the bridges you burned
And they can't wait to kick you in the bud
Then what oh then what come on
