[Verse 1]
Green-eyed monster
You been circling ‘round my door
Talking slick with a shaky smile
Like I can’t see what you’re hungry for
You called me old
Called me ugly
But I know where that came from
You counting every line on my face
Still crying over being outdone (yeah)
[Chorus]
Green-eyed monster
You can’t have my man
You just want what’s held in my hand
Get yourself another
The world is full of them
Go chase a heart that don’t know who you’ve been
Green-eyed monster
Truth cuts like a blade
Under all that glitter
All I see is shade
You can try your tricks
But he sees right through
He’s not leaving me for a copy of you
[Verse 2]
You dye your hair
Hide the silver
But the roots keep telling on you
You point at me like I’m the problem
But the mirror’s turning back on you (oh)
You think I’m scared you’ll steal him
Baby
That’s not how this goes
If he wanted cheap illusions
He’d have left me long ago
[Chorus]
Green-eyed monster
You can’t have my man
You just want what’s held in my hand
Get yourself another
The world is full of them
Go chase a heart that don’t know who you’ve been
Green-eyed monster
Truth cuts like a blade
Under all that glitter
All I see is shade
You can try your tricks
But he sees right through
He’s not leaving me for a copy of you
[Bridge]
You call me names
I call it desperate
I see the cracks in your crown
All that perfume on your ego
Still can’t sweeten how you sound
So take your lies and your lashes
Take your drama
Take your games
I’ve got love that’s built on honesty
You’ve just got a changing face and name (hey)
[Chorus]
Green-eyed monster
You can’t have my man
You just want what’s held in my hand
Get yourself another
The world is full of them
Go chase a heart that don’t know who you’ve been
Green-eyed monster
I’m done with your show
We both know your age is starting to show
You can talk your talk
But we’re still us two
And every move you make just proves it ain’t you (oh yeah)
