OK, I'm jealous

Your man's so handsome and so smug
But i've been told i'm like a thug
And I get taken for a mug
That last line is very true
If I could just buy you a drink
Blow you a kiss or even wink
But then it makes me sick to think
Of his hands all over you (ugh!)

Oh please don't take him to bed with you tonight
You know it should be me who lies by your side
How long will it take you to open your eyes
OK, I'm jealous and this cannot be denied

You don't realise I even exist
Let alone what I really wish
Oh the chance to steal a kiss
Is the least that I desire
So I sit in the park all alone
With 'The Smiths' on my headphones
And thoughts of you make me feel low
As I know you'll be with that guy

Oh please don't take him to bed with you tonight
You know it should be me who lies by your side
How long will it take you to open your eyes?
OK, i'm jealous and this cannot be denied

Maybe a chance encounter one day
And I know just what I need to say
But then he will get in the way
And spoil my only chance
So i'll take my speech and go
Because my feelings I can't show
It's such a shame you'll never know
About my planned passionate advance

Oh please don't take him to bed with you tonight
You know it should be me who lies by your side
How long will it take you to open your eyes?
OK, i'm jealous and if you read this you'd know why.
