Whoa, oh, oh oh oh oh oh, yeah

This time's not done, but I'm drinking now
Unless they find ya', intertwine with me
She don't like what's she's forced to see
But I could've got started on her
She knows what I'm putting on her
Girl I stay high, never sober
You could've stayed but it's over

'Cause you're so jealous of me
Oh you're so jealous of me, jealousy over me
(Why you so jealous) over me (why you so jealous?)
(Why you catchin' feelings) jealousy over me (why you catchin' feelings?)
(Why you so jealous) over me (why you so jealous?)
(Why you catchin' feelings) jealousy over me (why you catchin' feelings?)

Jealousy over me, jealousy over me (why you catchin' feelings?)

Whoa, oh, oh oh, yeah oh oh oh, yeah oh oh yeah
