Everytime I think I'm OK I'm in trouble again I just can't seem to get away From this emotional sin I'm inferiority bound And lost in despair Harmony can never be found When I begin to compare Envy and jealousy They make me so small Envy and Jealousy Are there when I fall You're my only hope To be saved from this oppression within Show me there is nothing to be gained By recognition of men Envy and jealousy Invading my mind Envy and jealousy They're wasting my time Envy and jealousy
They make me so small Envy and jealousy They're there when I fall I can recall when I was quite young I had it all except for the one I wanted Well that's envy and jealousy I know it's a sin we're all caught in But I don't want to be here forever 'Cause it feels like a chain wrapped around my neck And it's bringin' me down I know it's a trap we all fall in But I don't wanna be here tomorrow So I'm askin' for help Won't you please get me out Won't you take it away?
