| Girl, try to remember
|
| When we didn’t have no shoes
|
| How we made it downtown to the welfare office
|
| Just me, just you
|
| Took a long time
|
| Tryin' to get what we got now, baby
|
| Don’t you go away and give it up
|
| To no other man, I couldn’t understand
|
| Don’t let, don’t let the green grass fool you
|
| Don’t let, don’t let it change your mind, yeah
|
| It’s gonna be hard tryin' to start our lives all over
|
| Hey, mama, you got the kind of lovin' that I need, oh yeah
|
| And if you ever leave me, ever leave me down in the dumps
|
| Without a-something in my heart, oo-wee babe
|
| I don’t think I’ll live to see a brand new day
|
| I want to hear you do it to me, said
|
| Don’t don’t don’t let, don’t let the green grass fool you, no
|
| Baby don’t let, don’t let it change your mind
|
| Oh, it may be greener way over there somewhere
|
| Woo, right here, girl, in these big black arms of mine is where you belong
|
| Oh, I’m just gonna let these fellas play a little bit
|
| Don’t let the green grass fool you, baby
|
| Don’t you never ever, never ever
|
| Never, never let it change your mind
|
| Ooh think of me, just think of me
|
| When the world’s turned a shoulder
|
| I’ll be here, baby, yeah
|
| And right here, girl, is where you belong
|
| You know I had to leave for a couple days
|
| And I met Freddie, who’s got a Cadillac
|
| And you know I always drive a Nash
|
| But baby, he can talk sweet nothings in your ear
|
| Woman, I got action and girl you know I got cash
|
| And I’m sayin'
|
| Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t
|
| Don’t let the green grass fool you
|
| Bubbling over inside me when I tell you baby
|
| Don’t let it change your mind
|
| I can sit here all day
|
| Just wastin' the time away
|
| Thinkin' about you, needin' you
|
| Just tellin' you, baby
|
| That right here, girl, is where you belong
|
| Come on home, give it to me
|
| Don’t let the green grass fool you
|
| Don’t let it change your mind |
