Jealousy - Michael Franks

I used to be mellow

'Til you got a hold of me

Now I feel like Othello — dying of jealousy

Were you late last night, I passed your house I saw no light

I called you on the phone 100 times you weren’t at home

Don’t say just out with friends, I can’t believe that line again

Don’t tell me just be cool, you know I ain’t that big a fool

Why must you play with me?

Why don’t you stay with me?

I’m in a difficult position

I don’t mean to push and shove, I just want all your love

I’m sick and tired of the suspicion

You gave me that sweet look

You cast a spell on me

I swallowed a needle

Now I’m dying of jealousy

I cry when I should laugh at your old lovers photograph

You say no need to shout, well how come you never threw it out?

What did you do all day, your mind’s a million miles away

You say just in my room, well I would like to know with whom

Why must you play with me?

Why don’t you stay with me?

I’m in a difficult position

I don’t mean to push and shove, I just want all your love

I’m sick and tired of the suspicion

My heart is burning up with jealousy

This jealous feeling has got a hold of me

My heart is burning up with jealousy

This jealous feeling has got a hold of me

My heart is burning up with jealousy

This jealous feeling has got a hold of me

My heart is burning up with jealousy

This jealous feeling has got a hold of me
