Dont Let The Green Grass Fool You by O.B. McClinton Lyrics

Genre: country | Year: 1972

[Verse 1]
Girl, try to remember when you didn't have no shoes
We stuck together, baby, you and me
And it took a long time to get what we got today
But now you wanna leave me for another man

[Chorus]
I'm beggin' you, don't let the green grass fool you
Don't let it change your mind
It might look greener on the other side
But in my arms is where you belong

[Verse 2]
Girl, try to remember when you was on your sick bed
I was the one, baby, to see through
Now I know he's feedin' you a whole lot of sweet talk
But everything shiny, girl, sure ain't gold

[Chorus]
I'm beggin' you, don't let the green grass fool you
Don't let it, don't let it change your mind
It might look greener on the other side, baby
But in my arms is where you belong
[Outro]
I'm beggin' you, don't let the green grass fool you
Sugar, don't let it, don't let it change your mind
I know it looked greener on the other side
But with this chocolate cowboy's where you belong
