I'm in my penthouse half-naked I cooked this meal for you naked So where the hell you at? There's just one shot left of this drink In this glass, don't make me break it Wish that you were me So you could feel this feeling I never broke one promise And I know that you're not honest Now you got me yellin' That's because I'm jealous (If you're keeping your promise I'm keeping mine) Oh, I'm jealous (If you're keeping your promise I'm keeping mine) Ooh, I'm jealous Sometimes I wanna walk in your shoes Do the type of things that I never ever do So I take one look in the mirror and say to myself "Baby girl, you can't survive like this" Take it one step further Freakum dress out of my closet Yoncé filling out this skirt I look damn good, I ain't lost it And I ain't missed a beat Boy, you been hanging out at night I'm staying out until tomorrow Dancing on them tables Ain't got no cares no sarrows I ran into my ex Say what up to his bestest Now we reminiscing How we used to flex in texas Don't be jealous (If you're keeping your promise I'm keeping mine) Oh, I'm jealous (If you're keeping your promise I'm keeping mine) I'm jealous Sometimes I wanna walk in your shoes Do the type of things that I'll never ever do I take one look in the mirror and say to myself "Baby girl, you can't survive like this, no, no, no" And I hate you for your lies and your covers And I hate us for making good love to each other And I love making you jealous, but don't judge me And I know that I'm being hateful, but that ain't nothing That ain't nothing I'm just jealous, I'm just human Don't judge me (If you're keeping your promise I'm keeping mine) Don't judge me, oh, I'm jealous (If you're keeping your promise, I'm keeping mine)
