Lyrics Michael Franks – Jealousy
Text:
I used to be mellow
‘Til you got a hold of me
Now I feel like Othello — dying of jealousy
Were you late last night, I passed your house I saw no light
Don’t say just out with friends, I can’t believe that line again
Don’t tell me just be cool, you know I ain’t that big a fool
Why must you play with me?
Why don’t you stay with me?
I’m in a difficult position
I don’t mean to push and shove, I just want all your love
I’m sick and tired of the suspicion
You gave me that sweet look
You cast a spell on me
I swallowed a needle
Now I’m dying of jealousy
I cry when I should laugh at your old lovers photograph
You say no need to shout, well how come you never threw it out?
What did you do all day, your mind’s a million miles away
You say just in my room, well I would like to know with whom
Why must you play with me?
Why don’t you stay with me?
I’m in a difficult position
I don’t mean to push and shove, I just want all your love
I’m sick and tired of the suspicion
My heart is burning up with jealousy
This jealous feeling has got a hold of me
My heart is burning up with jealousy
This jealous feeling has got a hold of me
My heart is burning up with jealousy
My heart is burning up with jealousy
This jealous feeling has got a hold of me
