JEALOUS OF ME
(Ian M. Bruce)

And why is it so important to you
That I should be right in all that I do?
Should I set the perfect example to you?
You know, I don't know;
I think you don't know too.
And just because you think I wear a tie
Which is not quite the same as the blue in my eye
What gives you that God-given right to say?
And what makes you think that you're right anyway?

Doo-be-datun-doo-da-dum etc.

And why is it so important to you
That you say I'm wrong in all that I do?
I wouldn't be born, if it was up to you
Because I'm not one of your own chosen few.
If my taste isn't yours, you consider me mad
Because you have said; you think I should be sad.
But because you hate fat, or mere chicken skin
Won't make me throw all my meat in the bin.

Doo-be-datun-doo-da-dum etc.

So, why am I wrong, when I'm wrong right or fair?
I've asked for the reason, you're up in the air.
There is an answer, but you just don't know where.
I'll tell it to you when you've torn out your hair.
And whether you like what I say now or not,
You'd best take it in, 'coz it's good food for thought.
It's painted all over your face you see.
And I don't why you are jealous of me.
