It's the motion of the ocean
It's not the places you've been
It's the places you'll go
It ain't the people that you meet
It's the people you know for a long time
It ain't the guitar that you're playin'
It's the song that you wrote
It's not the things that you be sayin'
It's the things that you know
It's not the clothes that you be wearin'
It's how you wear them clothes
(How you wear the clothes)
But you're lookin' at the grass on the other side
The other, other, other side
You got a honey with a body like an hourglass
Spent the last half hour lookin' at another girl's ass
Just like you, just like you
Then I met a pretty girl that said she loved me
And I said I loved her, too
That's what you should do
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
It ain't the car that you be drivin'
It's the drive that you got
Hey, yo, that diamond in your watch, man
And all those bottles you been buyin'
Ain't never gonna hit the spot
(Never gonna hit the spot)
You tryna' look like you ain't tryin'
But you're tryin' to hard
It ain't the things that you buyin'
It's the things that you got
You break it and you buy it, man
(Break, break, break it and you buy it, man)
But you're looking at the grass on the other side
(The other, other, other side)
You got a honey with a body like an hourglass
Spent the last half our lookin' at another girl's ass
I was a fool sittin' down in the sunshine
See ya, see ya, see ya, see ya, see ya
