jealousy
written and performed by natalie merchant
from the album Tigerlily

oh, jealousy

is she fine, so well bred
the perfect girl, a social deb
is she the sort you've always thought
could make you what you're not

oh, jealousy

is she bright, so well read
are there novels by her bed
is she the sort that you've always said
could satisfy your head

oh, my jealousy

does she talk the way I do
is her voice reminding you
of the promises, the little white lies too
sometimes, tell me, whle she's touching you
just by mistake, accidentally do you say my name
