"The grass is always greener on the other side"...

"The grass is always greener on the other side"...{Jay Z featured in Usher's song titled "Best Thing"}

Or is it?!

You think you've got it bad because she's over emotional, his breath isn't always minty fresh, her family is a little strange, he doesn't pick up after himself when he gets home from work, she shops too much, he is not financially savvy, her butt is not round enough, he dresses like a dork, she flirts too much, he has to any female friends, or this and that, and the list is never ending really. There will always be a little something that you wish could be different about the person you are with. So you happen to notice someone else that may have a bigger butt, who is always dressed to the nines and/or wears cologne/perfume all the time, someone who may have the perfect job, or just seems like they've got everything together. ''Seems'' is the operative word here because guess what?? The grass isn’t always greener on the other side. You could either end it with your current partner and start fresh with someone else who will eventually show their true colors, or you could communicate your concerns and constructive criticism to your partner and try to work through it.

At the end of the day, do you just take anyone as long as they're different, or do you make it work?

Ne-yo sings a great song called ''Make it Work'' which describes this situation perfectly!

Below are incredible lyrics:

Ooh uh ooh,ooh uh ooh yeih yeh
You understand me
At least you say you do
Lately that’s enough for me
Looking for perfect
Surrounded by artificial
You're the closest thing to real i've seen
Sure, everyone has their problems
That’s a given
Yours are the easiest to tolerate
This wasn't what we was wanting
How we're living
But let's take this good enough and turn it to great
Baby understand...

This can only be as good as we both make it
Guess sometimes its gonna hurt (yes sometimes its gonna hurt)
We can be as happy as we want to be girl
But we gotta make it work
We gotta make it work...

Ay oh ay oh oh
We gotta make it work...
Ay oh ay oh oh
We gotta make it work...
Ay oh ay oh oh
We gotta make it work...
Ay oh ay oh oh

Sometimes I love you
More than you'll ever know
Other times you get on my nerves (hey)
That's just reality
No, it can't always be
Kisses, hugs, and beautiful words

You was looking for your prince, ooh
What you found (what u found)
Is a pauper with potential
And no, I'm nowhere near perfect…NO
But I'm around (but I’m around)
Girl, time and patience is essential
Baby realize...

This can only be as good as we both make it
Guess sometimes its gonna hurt (guess sometimes its gonna hurt)
We can be as happy as we want to be girl
But we gotta make it work
We gotta make it work...

Ay oh ay oh oh
We gotta make it work...
Ay oh ay oh oh
We gotta make it work...
Ay oh ay oh oh
We gotta make it work...
Ay oh ay oh oh

Thick and thin, (ooh)
The bad outweighs the good sometimes
That doesn't mean we're 'spose to give it up
My problems are yours, and yours are mine

This can only be as good as we both make it
Guess sometimes it’s gonna hurt (guess sometimes it’s gonna hurt)
We can be as happy as we want to be girl
But we gotta make it work
We gotta make it work...

Ay oh ay oh oh
We gotta make it work...
Ay oh ay oh oh
We gotta make it work...
Ay oh ay oh oh
We gotta make it work...
Ay oh ay oh oh
