Lyrics
JEALOUS GREEN
W-Larry M Clark BMI P-Ellemsee Music BMI larrymyrtus@yahoo.com
VERSE 1
Took my lady friend out to dinner tonight at a fancy restaurant
The meal was delicious and the service was as good as you could want
At one point, my lady began to sull up and was giving me an evil stare
She said, I saw how you were checking out that sexy blonde over there
I said, Baby, you're wrong, you know that I only have eyes for you
She said, Take me home, you lowlife, and her house I sped straight to
VERSE 2
I walked her to her door, she went in, and came out with a baseball bat
She started to swing it at me and I figured out that I'd better scat
I ran like a bat out of Hell to my car and glad I made it that far
She followed me there and began to take her anger out on my car
Busting out my headlights, then taking out her fury on my windshield
got my motor started, grabbed a gear to get away from this raw deal
CHORUS
Now, I'm lookin' at the world through a shattered windshield
Heading down the road away from my ex-lady friend
Didn't know she could be so jealous green
Or turn into a man-killing machine
And I'll bet ya, she'll never see my tail again
