Lyrics

Jealous

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I’m in my penthouse half naked

I cooked this meal for you naked

So where the hell you at?

Just one shot left of this drink

In this glass, don’t make me break it

I wish that you were me

So you could feel this feeling

I never broke one promise

And I know when you’re not honest

Now you got me yelling

That’s because I’m jealous

If you keep me your promise

I’m keeping mine

Oh, I’m jealous

If you keep me your promise

I’m keeping mine

Sometimes I wanna walk in your shoes

Do the type of things that I never ever do

I take one look in the mirror and I say to myself

“Baby girl, you can’t survive like this”

Take it one step further

Freakum dress out my closet

’Yoncé filling out this skirt

I look damn good I ain’t lost it

And I ain’t missed a beat

Boy, you been hanging out tonight

I’m staying out ’til tomorrow

Been dancing on them tables

Ain’t got no cares, no sorrows

I ran into my ex

Said what up to his bestest

Now we reminiscing how we used to flex in Texas

Don’t be jealous

If you keep me your promise

I’m keeping mine

Oh, I’m jealous?

If you keep me your promise

I’m keeping mine

Sometimes I wanna walk in your shoes

Do the type things that I never ever do

I take one look in the mirror and I say to myself

“Baby girl, you can’t survive like this no, no, no”

And I hate you for your lies and your covers

And I hate us for making good love to each other

And I love making you jealous but don’t judge me

And I know I’m being hateful but that ain’t nothing

That ain’t nothing

I’m just jealous

I’m just human

Don’t judge me

If you keep me your promise

I’m keeping mine

Oh, I’m jealous

If you keep me your promise

I’m keeping mine
