Baby, I used to love you, but now the party's over
(Grass was much greener)
Told you he'd buy you things that I never could
Now you showin' up after I'm blowin' up, up
(Now I'm the one laughin' in the end)
Thought you would never see my face again
Now I'm the one that's laughin' in the end
But the grass was much greener on the other side
Ain't it funny now I'm making money
And the same thing that makes you laugh can make you cry
(Shoulda thought about it, oh yeah)
(Before you say, "Goodbye", yeah)
Shoulda thought about it 'fore you said, "Goodbye"
(Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Shoulda thought about it, oh yeah, 'fore you said, "Goodbye")
Now I'm the one that's laughin' at you
But the grass was much greener on the other side
(Said the same thing, can make you cry)
But the the same thing that makes you laugh can make you cry
Shoulda thought about it 'fore you said, "Goodbye"
(But the grass was much greener, thought it wasn't, baby)
You thought it was all good when you left me in the hood
You said he had more cheddar than me, wasn't ghetto like me
Shoulda thought about it 'fore you said, "Goodbye"
(Make you cry, make you cry, make you cry)
(Baby, you thought you was gonna play me, ha)
Shoulda thought about it
And the same thing that makes you laugh can make you cry
(But the grass was much greener on the other side, baby, oh no)
And the same thing that makes you laugh can make you cry
And the same thing that makes you laugh can make you cry
Now you realize your mistakes but you realized too late
But the grass was much greener on the other side
But the the same thing that makes you laugh can make you cry, yeah
(Yeah, yeah)
After you left me alone for the next man, oh no
Baby, you thought you played me for a fool
Shoulda thought about it 'fore you said, "Goodbye"
(Thought you wouldn't see my face, no, no, no, no, no)
But the the same thing that makes you laugh can make you cry
But the the same thing that makes you laugh can make you cry
But the grass was much greener on the other side
(Oh yeah)
(Now I'm the one laughin' at you)
(Shoulda thought about it, oh no)
