Well the grass is always greener where the grass don't grow
You see everything in color till you see it close
Everybody else's street looks like it's paint in 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
Other people's lives
Johnny - was tired of working all day
Working and only pennies for pay
He said:
Anybody's life in the world has gotta be better than the life I've got
Johnny - had big things in mind, had big dreams, just burning inside
He said:
Someday I wanna climb my way out of this and climb my way right to the top
He wanted a piece of paradise, he wanted to break away
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
Other people's lives, always look much better
When you're seeing it through different eyes
Other people's lives
Well the grass is always greener where the grass don't grow
You see everything in color till you see it close
Everybody else's street looks like it's paint in gold
Don't it always go that way
Suzy - she's got money to spend, married some rich older man
He gives her everything she needs
Everything - but love
Johnny - he's got the job of his dreams
Now he wonders:
This is what it all means ?
You see sometimes you can have it all but 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
Other people's lives, always look much better
When you're seeing it through different eyes
Other people's lives
Other people's lives
Always look much better
When you're seeing it through different eyes
Other people's lives
