Everyone's talking about being tied down
And they're so unhappy
They say this married life
Is just not for me
They say they'd give anything
To be living wild and free
Well, I am, oh yes, I am
And I don't wanna be

They say their husbands don't mow the lawn
Until he's asked
And he doesn't ever offer anymore
To take out the trash
They say they'd rather be alone
Oh, but if they were they'd see
'Cause I am, oh yes, I am
And I don't wanna be

They say the grass is always greener on the other side
But if I had someone to love then I'll be satisfied
I would never take for granted something so hard to find
Someone in my life

So if you've got a good love tonight
Please don't let him go
Unless you really are prepared
To live life on your own
'Cause it hurts to be in bed tonight
Holding onto nothing but a dream
'Cause I am, oh yes, I am
And I don't wanna be

They say the grass is always greener on the other side
But if I had someone to love then I'll be satisfied
I would never take for granted something so hard to find
Someone in my life

It hurts to be in bed at night
Holding onto nothing but a dream
'Cause I am, oh yes, I am
And I don't wanna be
'Cause I am, oh yes, I am
And I don't wanna be
