[Verse 1]
You came in with that sugary grin
But your words got sharp
Tryna cut my skin
Called me old
Called me ugly
Said it to my face
Funny how your mirror's showing all that age
[Pre-Chorus]
You want my man
But baby
He sees
Through the perfume and the pretty thefts
You can borrow the shine
You can borrow the pose
But you can't fake a soul that knows
[Chorus]
Green-eyed monster
You can't hide
You bite your tongue
But it's poison pride
Get yourself another
The world's full of them
But they might see through you in the end
Green-eyed monster
Watch me smile
You can want him
You can wait a while
Green-eyed monster
Take your time
He won't be yours
And he won't be mine
[Verse 2]
You paint on youth like a cheap disguise
But the cracks show clear in your jealous eyes
Talk so loud
But your hands still shake
Every lie you wear starts to fade
[Chorus]
Green-eyed monster
You can't hide
You bite your tongue
But it's poison pride
Get yourself another
The world's full of them
But they might see through you in the end
Green-eyed monster
Watch me smile
You can want him
You can wait a while
Green-eyed monster
Take your time
He won't be yours
And he won't be mine
[Bridge]
Gray in your hair
But it ain't the shine
It's the weight of every line you hide
I don't need to fight
I don't need to shout
Truth has a way of finding you out
[Chorus]
Green-eyed monster
You can't hide
You bite your tongue
But it's poison pride
Get yourself another
The world's full of them
But they might see through you in the end
Green-eyed monster
Watch me smile
You can want him
You can wait a while
Green-eyed monster
Take your time
He won't be yours
And he won't be mine
