Jealous.

Beyoncé · Other Songs - Beyoncé

(Ohhhhhh)



I'm in my penthouse half-naked,

I cooked this meal for you naked,

So where the hell you at?

It's just one shot left of this drink in this glass,

Don't make me break it.

I wish you were me, so you could feel this feeling,

I never broke one promise,

And I know when 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

Oh, oh, I'm jealous, ohhh ohhh



Sometimes I wanna walk in your shoes,

Do the type of things that I never ever do

So I can 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 my closet,

'Yonce fillin' out this skirt

I look damn good I ain't lost it

And I ain't missed a beat,

Boy you been hangin' out at night tonight

I'm staying out 'till tomorrow

Dancing on dem tables, ain't got no cares no sorrows

I ran into my ex, say what up to his besties,

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 you're jealous,

If you're keeping your promise, I'm keeping mine

Ahh you're 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 nooo



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 nothin'

That ain't nothin'...I'm just jealous

I'm just human...Don't judge me



If you're keeping your promise I'm keepin' mine

(Don't judge me) (I'm jealous)

If you're keeping your promise I'm keepin' mine
