Jealousy and Envy

Jealousy is crimson Envy is green They can make you vindictive They can make you mean! They raise up their heads So ugly and cruel At inopportune moments They can make you a fool! You blow up in anger You 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 mean!
