Why would I want him nasty
Why would I want him mean,
Why would I want him ugly
And why is my color green?

I envy him for the sun he's got
Married to my whole world,
He can hold her when he wants
My love's happy she is his girl.

Jealousy is such a terrible emotion
Not worthy of a good man's heart,
I have to fight it every day
As I rush to put out the spark.

That is beneath my character
I"ve always held myself above all that,
As much as she means to me
I should smile and give her a pat.

I"ve never explored this emotion
If she's happy , why am I sad?
Why do I wish I was him
She wasn't happy with what we had.

Jealousy, envy, coveting a life
Those emotions are filled with pain,
A trait I've never had or wanted
Left me knowing I'm quite insane.
