I envy you - with your hair just right. I envy you - with teeth so white and bright. I envy you - with skin so smooth. I envy you - you've got nothing to loose. You're the life of the party Everyone loves your wit. Your house, your cars - they just won't quit You walk in a room - all conversation ceases. You know, it really tears me to pieces. But then I saw you with a tear in your eye. Tears welled up as I just happened by. If looks could kill I would be dead by the dawn. Your anger was obvious, you wanted me gone. Who am I to be angry at me? You've got it all from the A to the Z. Lacking for nothing as far as I can see. But the look in your eyes said YOU'RE JEALOUS OF ME!!!!! You've got beautiful clothes to put on your body. But deep down inside - your life is so shoddy. The world is a stage and you"re playing a part. Your plastic and fake - a maniquine at best. You run from life when put to the test. You - jealous of me? I never knew. I am who I am and that's a fact. I love who I am - this man pleases me.
