I wanna be your greener pastures
this is me waving from across the fence
and I‘ll take no for an answer,
but this is me asking you again

if I could be your bread and butter,
be the one who gets you through

I wanna be your greener pastures,
I just wanna spend my time with you..

‘cause I could stick right to your ribs, girl,
no, this ain’t no Chinese food,
& you’ll be back soon for another trip, girl,
I think you know what’s good for you

and I could be your bread and butter,
one and only, tried and true

I wanna be your greener pastures,
I just wanna spend my time with you..

is he missing in the morning?
is he absent all day long?
and will he leave you without warning
when he learns you’re twice as strong?

’cause I could be your silent partner
I won’t tell you what to do

I wanna be your greener pastures,
I just wanna spend my time with you…

and I could be your bread and butter,
when no other slice will do

I wanna be your greener pastures,
I just wanna spend my time with you…
