  • She's got stickers on her locker
    And the boy's number's there in magic marker
    I'm hungry and the hunger will linger
    I eat sixteen saltine crackers then I lick my fingers

    Well every morning I deliver the news
    Black hat white shoes and I'm red all over
    She's got a big mailbox that she puts up front
    Garbage in, garbage out, she's getting what she wants

    Who's jealous who's jealous who's jealous who's jealous of who?
    If I get busy then I couldn't care less what you do
    But when I'm by myself I think of nothing else
    Than if a boy just might be getting through and touching you

    Spike heels make a hole in a lifeboat
    Drifting away when I'm talking and laughing as we float
    I hear her whistle, that's how I know she's home
    Lipstick, eyelash, broke mirror, broken home

    Force fed forced meds 'til I drop dead
    You can't defeat her, when you meet her you'll get what I said
    The Lord knows there's a method to her madness
    But the Lord's joke is a boat in a sea of sadness

    She doesn't know but when she's gone I sit and drink her perfume
    I'm sure she's drinking too, but why, where and what for and who?
    And I'm solo rowing on one side off the boat.
    Looking up, throwing up, a lifesaver down my throat

    Who's jealous who's jealous who's jealous who's jealous of who?
    Who's jealous who's jealous who's jealous who's jealous of who?
    Who's jealous who's jealous who's jealous who's jealous of who? Writer/s: John Anthony White
