Well I've got a good friend who's got a good life
He's got three pretty children and a real nice wife
Yet he never seemed quite satisfied
Well I said I know what's on your mind
But you'd better think about it 'for you cross that line
The grass ain't always greener on the other side

Then what?
Whatcha gonna do when the new wears off and the old shines through?
And it ain't really love and it ain't really lust?
You ain't anybody anyone's gonna trust?
Then what?
Where you gonna turn when you can't turn back for the bridges you've burned?
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt?
Then what?
Whoa-ho then what?

Well I ain't saying that I'm looking to crime
I've done my share from time to time
That don't mean that you gotta take that league
When you're standing on the brink
Before you jump you gotta step back and think
There's a price for every promise you don't keep

Whoa
Then what?
Whatcha gonna do when the new wears off and the old shines through?
And it ain't really love and it ain't really lust?
You ain't anybody anyone's gonna trust?
Then what?
Where you gonna turn when you can't turn back for the bridges you've burned?
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt?
Then what?
Whoa-ho then what?

Do what you want do what you wish
It's your life but remember this
There's bound to be some consequences sneaking under other's fences

Whoa
Then what?
Whatcha gonna do when the new wears off and the old shines through?
And it ain't really love and it ain't really lust?
You ain't anybody anyone's gonna trust?
Then what?
Where you gonna turn when you can't turn back for the bridges you've burned?
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt?
Then what?
Whoa-ho then what?
Yo man!
