Don't Let the Green Grass Fool You - The Spinners

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
