I'm the jealous one now...

...***...*...***...*...***...*...***...

Would you laugh if I told you that…
I’m jealous of your headphone?
I’m jealous of your mobile phone?
I’m even jealous of its ringtone?!

...***...*...***...*...***...*...***...

I’m the jealous one now.
I just can’t help it,
I don’t know how.
I know I’m the jealous one.
And I know I’m not the bad one.

...***...*...***...*...***...*...***...

I’m jealous of everything that’s close to you.
Your headphone's close to your ears and hair,
I’m so far away, you see, it’s unfair!
Your mobile phone's in your hands, you hold it.
When I long for your hugs,
You never know how much I need it!
Most of all,
I’m jealous of its ringtone.
Wish I could sing you a song,
When you're alone.

...***...*...***...*...***...*...***...

I’m the jealous one now.
I just can’t help it,
I don’t know how.
I know I’m the jealous one.
Who only want to be the one.

...***...*...***...*...***...*...***...

So would you laugh if I told you that…
I’m jealous of everything that's close to you.

...***...*...***...*...***...*...***...

Don’t laugh,
Just come here
And give me your hand.
Come here
And be my 'only' man.
I promise,
There'll be no more jealously.
If only,
I’d have you here with me.

...***...*...***...*...***...*...***...

In a global internet age you touch on a situation that affects unknown thousands - or even millions of people separated by mighty oceans or thousands of miles.

Long distance romances are always fraught with all kinds of practical difficulties - and yet, on this very site their are at least two couples who have overcome all these obstacles and are seemingly in successful relationships.

Two points occur to me... the point you make about the frustration you experience at being separated from someone you would like to meet... but also on the positive side - never giving up hope, as LadyBee and Paloma and their beloveds have so ably demonstrated.

A heartfelt write SaS...

Hi Sassy,
Jealousy is the green eyed monster. This would make a great song. I love the modern techno chorus. This could be the new wave of song lyrics. Nicely done. thumbs up wine
