mr. jealousy


I see the way
You've been reacting
I see the face That you've been masking
Oh no! It can't be you
I thought you were a friend
But Mr. Jealousy has come to get you, baby


And he's got you green with envy
Known you since I entered this world
But still you're green with envy
Making you a silly girl
Silly girl


You're giving me the blame
To avoid your own
You're slandering my name
For a sympathy vote
Oh no!
I thought you were a friend
But Mr. Jealousy has come to get you, baby


And he's got you
Green with envy
And oh how that just makes my fists curl
Mr. Jealousy is envy
Making you a silly girl
Silly girl


Now don't you try
To apologize
Cause I see you
For who and what you really are
And now I understand
About a fair-weather friend
And it wouldn't be wrong
If
I called you a b*tch Cause
Mr. Jealousy already gotcha, baby

. . .

And now you're green with envy
And oh how that just makes my fists curl
Cause now you're green with envy
Making you a silly girl
Silly girl
