Jealousy Lyrics - Juvenilia - Liz Phair

He's got a million dollar car, he's got a thirty-seven year old guitar 

He's got a family who deals heroin 

You're on the edge of your chair and 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 feelings of jealousy 

Jealousy 

I know it's just a drawer of photographs 

They're ex-girlfriends, I try to remember that 

I don't wanna 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 

Imagining me behind your eyes and then what did I see? 

I saw hips, I saw thighs, 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 this place and I see it 

It's all I can do to conceal my feelings of jealousy 

Jealousy 

Standing on the mudflats watching the salmon fly 

Wonder if I'll ever bury the hatchet inside 

Imagining me behind your eyes and then 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 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
