I see the way they look at you All googly eyed and giggly Their want is so obvious Like school girls clawing for your attention Then I see the way they look at me With such bitterness in their eyes I hear the whispers The catty words that roll off their tongues sting I try not to take it personal, I've seen it done to the girls that came before me It never made sense to me, they don't even know you They know you for the way you look and the way you walk For the way you dress and the way you talk I'm scared if they really knew you they'd fall in love with you for real Actually, I know they would, I did I hate the way they look at you I hate the way they talk about you I hate the way they want you But most of all I hate the way they make me feel My insecurity reels it's ugly head The thought that you can have any of them always lingers I'm scared that you'll slip threw my fingers And into theirs

Ugly jealously
I see the way they look at you All googly eyed and giggly Their want is so obvious Like school girls clawing for your attention Then I see the way they look at me With such bitterness in their eyes I hear the whispers The catty words that roll off their tongues sting I try not to take it personal, I've seen it done to the girls that came before me It never made sense to me, they don't even know you They know you for the way you look and the way you walk For the way you dress and the way you talk I'm scared if they really knew you they'd fall in love with you for real Actually, I know they would, I did I hate the way they look at you I hate the way they talk about you I hate the way they want you But most of all I hate the way they make me feel My insecurity reels it's ugly head The thought that you can have any of them always lingers I'm scared that you'll slip threw my fingers And into theirs
I'm  not sure what's worse Their jealousy or mine?
