Story Behind The Song
This song idea came to me after a good friend of mine found out that his wife was having an affair. Some people always think that life is better somewhere else or with someone else but on the most part, it never really is and it leaves great stress with everyone involved. Grass is never greener on the other side!

Lyrics
Many years we've been together
I thought our love was so strong
But lately girl I've had the strangest feeling
You've been cheatin me baby, doing me wrong
But I love you more than ever, and more than any other
Can't keep those feelings inside
You're a fool, acting cool, never playing by the rules
Grass aint greener on the other side
You think I don't know you've been cheatin'
Your every move gives you away
Each smile you hide, hurts me deep down inside
I'm begging you baby, please stay, hey
But I love you more than ever, and more than any other
Can't keep those feelings inside
So don't tease me, just please me but darlin' please believe me
Grass aint greener on the other side
