Keith Dovoric Poet Lyric

I'm Jealous of Myself

I had too much to give you
My car it broke right down 
You know I can't forgive you
For making me walk all the way across
This godforsaken town 

I'm jealous of myself
I'm jealous of myself
I'm jealous of myself
'cause I can't have me

The dog is scratching at the door
The monkey's causing trouble
There's blood in the water
I just know it's your daughter 
The backyard is covered in bubbles

She's jealous of herself
She's jealous of herself 
She's jealous of herself 
Now that she's happy

Did you go to therapy
To find out who you are
Is that cost-effective personality
Too near or far

It's bedlam until sunrise
It's boredom until dusk
And now do you dare to stare
In the elephant's eyes 
For want of the tusk

You're jealous of yourself 
You're jealous of yourself
You're jealous of yourself
And so's your family
