Jealousy
Jealousy - One, Nine and Sixteen
She walked down the stairs while holding her hands
With tears in her eyes she could not refrain
She pummeled the door and she writhed deep in pain
He entered the door and called out her name
She grimaced at him and she slapped his face hard
You dallied , I heard with a lusty coquette
I love you no more , begone from this place
Your conduct with me has been a disgrace
Breathless confrontation consumed his face
I beg to differ you’ve been misinformed
My sister came by and I kissed her hello
I sought her advice to buy you a gift
She knew that you liked her favorite song
Please play this CD for the time you recall
To make you remember on the day that we met
The music pulsated into the night
Embarrassed she cried and she held him so tight
Forgive me, my dear, I now see the light
The music continued and he honored her lips
