Long Hard Look

Everyday is different
Like every love is different
I say it from the bottom of my heart
Well well,
You're my true fantasy, my daily covenant
I swear I'll never bring you harm
Just because you think we lost don't make it true
I know ain't no rules to this game
I'm not gonna give up what we do
Every time you go searching for pain
Take a long hard look
The grass is never greener on the other side (no, no, no)
And every revolution turns a page
Take a long hard look
And it ain't ever greener on the other side (no, no, no)
Every resolution makes a change
Take a long hard look at yourself, look at yourself, look at yourself
Baby, look at us now, look at us now, look at us now, darlin'
Every life is different
Like every love is different
You never could judge them by another (no, no)
You don't know what you want
So why you throw it away
Even though we were made for eachother
Just because you think we lost don't make it true
I know ain't no rules to this game
I'm not gonna give up what we do
Every time you go searching for pain
Take a long hard look
The grass is never greener on the other side (no, no, no)
And every revolution turns a page
Take a long hard look
And it ain't ever greener on the other side (no, no, no)
Every resolution makes a change
Take a long hard look
The grass is never greener on the other side (no, no, no)
Every revolution turns a page
Take a long hard look
Every resolution makes a change
Take a long hard look at yourself, look at yourself, look at yourself
Baby, look at us now, look at us now, look at us now
Look at yourself, look at yourself, look at yourself
Look at us now, look at us now, look at us now, darlin'
