"Jealousy" lyrics - VAN MORRISON

Jealousy
The things they say about me
I'm not too blind to see
It's just plain jealousy

Jealousy
Why don't they just let me be?
They don't dig my philosophy
It's just plain jealousy

Is it because I'm good at my job
I don't go with the mob
I don't do what they want me to do
I made it in spite of you

You don't have a clue
Have a clue just what it takes
You say you never got the breaks
Or you just don't have what it takes

To make the grade
You think that I've got it made
'Cause I'm not a slave
To the system like you

Jealousy
The bad things they say about me
I'm not too blind to see
It's just plain jealousy

Is it because I'm good at my job?
I don't run with the mob
I don't do what they want me to do
I made it in spite of you

You don't have a clue
Just what it takes
You say you never got the breaks
But do you have what it takes

To make the grade
You think I've got it made
'Cause I'm not a slave
To the system like you

Jealousy
The things they say about me
Not too blind to see
It's just plain jealousy

The bad thin
Jealousy
Jealousy
Not too blind to see
The things they say about me

It's just pure jealousy
