Jealousy and Envy
Jealousy is crimson
Envy is green
They can make you vindictive
They can make you so mean!
They raise up their heads
So ugly and cruel
At inopportune moments
They can make you a fool!
You blow up in anger
And take a great fit
To find you're in error
And now must admit!
Why do we do it?
Why are we prone
To fits of frustration
When proof is unknown?
It has no place
In a loving affair
So have faith in your partner
Give them some air!
It will go a long way
To a happier time
If you trust each other
And your hearts are in rhyme!
Jealousy is crimson
Envy is green
They can make you vindictive
They can make you so mean!
