Jealousy

I know jealousy is a terrible roommate

I know judgement's a hard friend

I have seen the look of anger

again and again and again.

I want to be warm and happy,

Don't want to find myself cold.

I want to feel so young and pretty,

But I feel so old.

Preacher says to love thy neighbor.

Listen to the sound of the prophecy

Should others reap the fruit of your labor

you won't find yourself tormented by jealousy...

Well I love my sister, I love my brothers too

Don't want to feel myself

holding resentment towards you.

Preacher says to love thy neighbor.

Listen to the sound of the prophecy

Should others reap the fruit of your labor

you won't find yourself tormented by jealousy,

Sweet jealousy...

Loneliness makes a horrible lover

and hatred can't fill your soul

but it creates for you this illusion that you are whole.

And greed is a good ambition

but passion will treat you right.

I want to live my life by love and appetite.

Preacher says to love thy neighbor.

Listen to the sound of the prophecy

Should others reap the fruit of your labor

you won't find yourself...

Tormented by jealousy...

Jealousy is a terrible roommate,

Judgement is a hard hard hard hard hard friend...

It's a hard friend,

It's a hard friend.......
