Jealousy Lyrics
Ooo, 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?
Ooo, jealousy
Is she bright?
So well-read
Are there novels
By her bed?
Is she the sort
You've always said
Could satisfy
Your head?
Ooo, 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
While she's touching you
Just by mistake
Accidentally
Do you say my name?
Natalie Merchant so perfectly puts jealousy into song form. The lyrics seem to be the thoughts in one's head wondering what "the other girl" is like. I love the last part. In the back of your mind you wonder how you compare to her, but you almost don't want to think it. By putting this at the end of the song, it reflects that hesitancy to ask that question. Good song.
i haven't heard another song that puts jealousy of another woman so perfectly...
perfect way to end the song. LOVE IT
its clearly a scorned lover, and shes asking her ex what his new girl is like. she is asking him, 'is she better than me?' but in the end she knows that however great his new love may be, he wont forget her, the singer. its a great song
awesome!!
LOVE LOVE this song.
yes i love this song too
This song is very good for someone feeling bitter about their former love.
