You found your greener pastures

In a mansion on the Hill

With a flashy foreign car to drive

And lots of time to kill

Now my mind keeps on remembering

The days of me and you

But when we were down to nothing

Nothin' sure looked good on you

When you honeymooned in Paris

It was carried on the news

And I heard you laughed your cares away

On a Caribbean cruise

You were always one for dreamin'

Now your dreams can all come true

But when we were down to nothin'

Nothin' sure looked good on you

You said you needed simple things

That I had plenty of

And through the days of dark and rain

We could always live all on love

With his style in life he lured you

And you could not refuse

But when we were down to nothin'

Nothin' sure looked so good on you
