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)
