Lyrics

Tell Me How to Live

The grass is greener

The grass is greener

Been a good man

Been a good man all my life

Can't stand the feeling

I've been so hypnotized

Been a good man

Been a good man all my life

Can't stand the feeling

I've been so hypnotized

Ain't nobody tell me how to live

Ain't nobody tell me how to live

Ain't nobody tell me how to live

Ain't nobody tell me how to live

The grass is greener, greener on my side

You know you love the feeling

I've come to hypnotize

The grass is greener, greener on my side

You know you love the feeling

I've come to hypnotize

Ain't nobody tell me how to live

Ain't nobody tell me how to live

Ain't nobody tell me how to live

Ain't nobody tell me how to live

Been a good man

Been a good man

I've come to

I've come to hypnotize

Ain't nobody tell me how to live

Ain't nobody tell me how to live

Ain't nobody tell me how to live

Ain't nobody tell me how to live
