Jealousy (She Only Dances)

she only dances with you to make me jealous
and love is just a little game we play
hiding our true selves and hoping for honesty
from hearts that we won't let get in the way

now jealousy's nothing new, but I don't understand
how it could bring us closer, or make me take her hand
I don't know why we do this, we both wish it would end
play this game of hide and seek, why can't we just be friends?

she only kisses me to make you jealous
thinking a hundred things she won't say why
when you're messing with her clothes, will I even notice...
that new silk dress she wore to catch my eye?

now jealousy's nothing new, but I don't understand
how it could bring us closer, or make me take her hand
I don't know why we do this, we both wish it would end
habits of old and staler times, why can't we just be friends?

she only sleeps with you to make him jealous
but all it does is confuse the sweetest dreams
a most peculiar plot to plunder pleasure
we try our best entangled in these schemes

now jealousy's nothing new, but I don't understand
how it could bring us closer, or make me take her hand
I don't know why we do this, we both wish it would end
causing so much useless pain, why can't we just be friends?

How do I know you really love me?
How can I tell you care?

How do I know you love me at all?
How can I tell you care?
