Don't Let the Green Grass Fool You [Single Version][*] Lyrics

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

Baby, I'm tellin' you don't let
The green grass fool you
Don't let it change your mind

It's gonna be hard for me baby
Feel my life all over
'Cause baby you got the love that I really need
'Cause if you leave, leave me this way, baby
You know what, I may not live to see a brand new day

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
Oh baby

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 right in my arms is where you belong, baby

Don't let the green grass fool you
Don't let it change your mind
It may be greener on the other side, baby

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
