Where the grass is always greener where the grass don′t grow

You see everything in colour till you see it close

Everybody else's street looks like it′s painted gold

Don't it always go that way

Suzy wanted money to spend wanted some rich older man

To take her from the world she was living in to the world on the other side

Suzy was bored with her life wanted something more to do with her nights

She said "Someday I'm just gonna pack it up and leave this all behind"

She wanted a piece of paradise she wanted a change of scene

She wanted to live the privileged life and nothing in between

Other people′s lives always look so easy

When you′re standing on the other side

Oh oh oh other people's lives

Johnny was tired of working all day working for the pennies for pay

He said "Anybody′s life in the world has gotta be better than the life I got"

Johnny had big things in mind had big dreams just burning inside

He said "Someday I wanna climb my way out of this climb my way right to the top"

He wanted a piece of paradise he wanted to break way

He wanted to live the easy life you know what people say

Other people's lives always look so easy

When you′re standing on the other side

Oh oh oh other people's lives always look much better

When you′re seeing them through different eyes

Oh oh oh other people's lives

Where the grass is always greener where the grass don't grow

You see everything in colour till you see it close

Everybody else′s street looks like it′s painted gold

Don't it always go that way

Suzy she′s got the money to spend married some rich older man

He gives her everything in the world she needs everything but love

Johnny he's got the job of his dreams now he wonders is this what it all means

He says "Sometimes you can have it all and still it′s not enough"

He wanted a piece of paradise she wanted a change of scene

But sometimes you know that paradise ain't always what it seems

Other people′s lives always look so easy

When you're standing on the other side

Oh oh oh other people's lives always look much better

When you′re seeing them through different eyes

Oh oh oh other people′s lives

Oh oh oh other people's lives always look much better

When you′re seeing them through different eyes

Oh oh oh other people's lives

Other people′s lives other people's lives always look much better

When you′re seeing them through different eyes

Oh oh oh oh other people's lives
