Jealousy
Kavana Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

take a look at what you're doing, it doesn't matter to me
what a shame that you can't control your jealousy

i know you better than you might think
i know you better than anyone, anyone
it's time to stop 'cos you're gonna sink
you played your game but you played it wrong, played it wrong
i heared it from another you've been talking obout me
it doesn't take a fool to spot your insecurity
i'm hearing all these strories you've been telling all this time
i've had enough of your scheming lies

chorus:
take a look at what you're doing, it doesn't matter to me
what a shame that you can't control your jealousy
everybody's got a story that is waiting to be told
what a shame you never control your jeaoulsy

i never guessed for a long long time
i never realised you were no friend of mine
what a shame that it's come to this
you started something and now you're gonna finish it

i heared it from another you've been talking obout me
it doesn't take a fool to spot your insecurity
and i can't take no more of it cos i'm gonna blow my cool
and now you're gonna stop because you know you're gonna lose

repeat chorus

to fade:
take a look, take a look now
take a look, take a look at me
take a look, take a look at your jealousy

everybody is getting at me
jealousy
jealousy





repeat chorus
