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
