Jealousy
Lou Doillon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You never seem to leave,
You're always there to tease me
Jealousy, the way you beat me,
Even when he's gone,
I'm never quite alone
Like maggots do flesh,
But at least they come with rest.
It's never "I",
It's always "we",
Side to side,
We keep each other company,
You're always there,
My faithful devotee
Jealousy, the way you shake me,
You make me dream it all,
And then you watch me fall,
Jealousy, It's only you I see
Written on the walls,
Happening behind doors
Jealousy, the way you beat me,
Even when he's gone,
I'm never quite alone
It's never "I",
It's always "we",
Side to side,
We keep each other company,
You're always there,
My faithful devotee
It's never "I",
It's always "we",
Side to side,
We keep each other company,
It's always you,
My faithful devotee
