It's all about a girl that's got a good man.
[A]
But she's going to leave him for another slick talking dude.
But I advise her not to burn down the bridge.
She might want to come back.
One, two, [Ab] three.
[Eb] Come on, settle on leaving.
Go out down on one way street.
Say you're going to lock up on the door.
And throw away the key.
[Db] Oh, but don't burn down the bridge, darling.
You just might [Ab] want to come back.
[Eb] Cause the grass ain't no [Db] greener on the other side of the [Ab] track.
Oh, you counted me out before I could get to class.
[Db] Part of them driving a Chevrolet.
Tomorrow might be driving a [Ab] Cadillac.
But [Db] don't burn down the bridge, darling.
You just might want to [Ab] come back.
Cause [Eb] the grass ain't no greener on the other [Ab] side of the track.
