Lyric Green Eyed Monster

10CC - Green Eyed Monster

Who s that creeping out of my back door
Don t say he s collecting for the poor
Don t you tell me you re not having fun
The green eyed monster s got me on the run

Phones keep ringing, but there s no one there
You never told me why you changed your hair
Someone else s lotion on my side of the mattress
Green eyed monster s got me by the niagra s

Don t think I m mad (I want what you got) It s paranoia
I m sad, you re glad (I want what you got)
I m hungry for your love (You got what I need)
Say the word, give me fever, keep those goodies for me

Midnight shopping is a funny thing
But I m not laughing, you don t wear your ring
You spend a fortune, but your cupboard s bare
The green eyed monster s got his home in there

Something s cooking at the laundromat
Dirty washing, I m not having that
Fifteen visits and my threads are bare
The green eyed monster leaves me in despair

Don t think I m mad (I want what you got) It s paranoia
I m sad, you re glad (I want what you got)
I m hungry for your love (You got what I need)
Say the word, give me fever, keep those goodies for me

What the hell is happening here
The more I get to know, I find out how much I don t know
Who can I turn to now
When everything I touch and everything I see
Seems to crumble into dust, you put the evil eye on me

Green eyed monster s driving me insane
And jealous lovers play a deadly game
My fire is burning, but you re as cold as ice
The green eyed monster throws a loaded dice

Who s that creeping out of my back door
Don t say he s collecting for the poor
And don t you tell me you re not having fun
The green eyed monster s got me on the run
The green eyed monster s got me on the run
The green eyed monster s got me on the run
