Jealousy - Lyrics by Liz Phair


Lyrics
He's got a million dollar car
He's got a 37 year old guitar
He's got a family who deals heroin you're on the edge of your chair
And the you feel it
He's looking at you, he's laughing at you
It's happening
I can't
I can't believe it
But it's here on the pages I'm reading
It's all I can do to conceal my feeling of jealousy
I know it's just a drawer of photographs
They're ex-girlfriends, I try to remember that
I don't want to look
But I'm already hooked on jealousy
Jealousy
I can't believe you had a life before me
I can't believe they let you run around free
Just putting your body wherever it seemed like a good idea what a good idea
Standing on the corner, watching the ladies pass by
Imagine me behind your eyes
Now what did I see? I saw hips, I saw thighs
I saw secret positions that we never try
I saw jealousy
I saw jealousy
I can't
I can't believe it
But it's here in his place and I see it
It's all I can do to conceal my feelings of jealousy
Standing on the mud flats
Watching the salmon fly
Wonder if I'll ever bury the hatchet inside
Imagine me behind your eyes
Now what did I see? I saw hips, I saw thighs I saw secret positions that we never try
I saw jealousy
I saw jealousy
