JEALOUSY
I
GET THESE FEELINGS THAT ARE HARD TO HIDE.
THEY
BUILD UP AND BUILD UP INSIDE.
THEN
I START TO HURT AND GET MAD.
WHEN
I LET THE FEELINGS FESTER THEY MAKE ME SAD.
WHEN
THESE FEELINGS RAISE THEIR UGLY HEADS,
I
MIGHT AS WELL TAKE MYSELF TO MY BED.
FOR
JEALOUSY CAN SEND YOUR HEAD TO REELING,
BEFORE
YOU CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU'RE FEELING.
THEN
YOU SAY THINGS TO SOMEONE ELSE,
THAT
YOU WOULDN'T WANT SOMEONE TO SAY TO YOURSELF.
FOR
WHEN JEALOUSY GETS A HOLD OF YOU,
THERE
JUST ISN'T MUCH YOU OR ANYONE CAN DO.
THAT'S
WHEN YOU NEED TO PULL BACK AND LOOK REAL GOOD.
THEN
CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE SO YOU CAN ACT LIKE YOU SHOULD.
JEALOUSY
CAN MAKE YOU VERY UNLOVABLE
AND
BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, NOT VERY HUGGABLE.
SO,
DON'T LET JEAOUSY GET A HOLD ON YOU.
YOU'VE
GOT TO WORK THE FEELINGS THROUGH.
FIND
SOMETHING TO DO TO OCCUPY YOUR MIND,
THEN
BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, YOU'LL HAVE LEFT IT ALL BEHIND.
THEN
THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS THINK IT THROUGH,
BEFORE
YOU LET IT GET A HOLD ON YOU.
IF
YOU DO, YOU'LL FEEL BETTER ABOUT YOURSELF,
AND
SO WILL EVERYONE ELSE.
