DON'T LET THE GREEN GRASS FOOL YOU
(Jerry Akines / Johnnie Bellmon / Victor Drayton / Reginald Turner) 
Wilson Pickett


Girl, try to remember when we didn't have no shoes 
We stuck together, just me & you 
It took a long time to get what we got today 
Now you wanna give it all up for another guy 

Don't let the green grass fool you 
Don't let it change your mind 

It's gonna be hard for me, baby, to live my life all over 
'Cause baby, you've 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 

(repeat & fade): 
Don't let the green grass fool you 
Don't let it change your mind 
It may be greener on the other side 
But right in my arms is where you belong
