Green is the color
of envy
I have been told
How many green eyed girls tire
of being
the temptress?
never are we the
Innocent
or the Sweet
We are too dark to be blue
and too light to be chocolate brown
and too decided in our pigments to be hazel
Is green the color of envy
because we envy what is green?
I didn't think so
I too like to talk to you

Green is the color
of envy
I have been told
How many green eyed girls tire
of being

never are we the

or the Sweet
We are too dark to be blue
and too light to be chocolate brown
and too decided in our pigments to be hazel
Is green the color of envy
because we envy what is green?
I didn't think so
I too like to talk to you
