Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh....

Pictures on tv and on your wall
walking down the street they're all your eyes look for
so look at me
don't make me jealous, boy

everytime I walk in your door

it's fashion tv, madonna and kylie
your fantasies

I'll take revenge

Oh oh, U make me
Oh oh, U make me so
Oh oh, U make me
Oh oh...So jealous, boy

Throw that magazine on the floor
It's funny but I

oh you should know

U think u re gonna meet a movie star
