Green-Eyed Devil

Jealous that's how she makes me feel when I know that you've got your arm around her and not me She's soft and smooth, coos like a dove and yet it's unknown, it's not you she loves She's using you, just as she has a thousand others, a thousand times All smiles and hair tosses until the real one she wants walks by The blond beauty that I'll never be She flirts and talks with the one I love the love that cannot be Ensnaring and trapping, a spider in its web A million flies on the waiting list and yet she drinks your blood She'll let you go when all you have to offer is a reservoir, sucked dry And then she'll throw you to the dogs laughing all the way when I pull you out of the ruins I'll have so much to say I'll start with the green-eyed monster I'll chase that girl away For although she may look quite like me she won't be here to stay.
