JEALOUSY

What have you got

That I can't see?

What have you got?

Please give it to me.

But I don't even want it 

Nor know what it is.

What have you got?

Can you show me please?

There's something I want

But it's not mine.

There's something I want

And I'm taking my time

To learn what it is.

I can't grab and snatch,

Not without tears.

There's always a catch.

It's something I'd fight for,

It's something unknown,

It's something delightful;

Inside me I'm torn.

I want it, I hate it.

I need you to know

This envy inside me will only grow.

Help me stop it.

Don't make me green.

Just give me what you've got,

And don't be mean.
