Lyric

If you’re gonna burn me with a jealousy so sweet

Make my heart race till it’s skipped a hundred beats

On the shoreline where my trembling feelings play

I’m picking up pink shells along the bay

I want you to believe I’m only looking at you

I want to believe that you’re looking at me too

But I hate those eyes, so full of suggestive lies

And I hate the smoke from your cigarette as it flies

Oh, this sweet jealousy is catching fire

If you want to stop it, take me higher

Hold me so tight, make me lose my mind

Leave the rest of the world far behind

My red lips are wet, shining in the light

My sighs are drowning in the dreams of the night

You can trust in me, you’re the only one I see

Can I trust in you to be only here for me?

But I hate your hands, and the way they tease my skin

And I hate the ice you’re clinking in your gin

I want to believe, so I’ll say it’s true

That I’m the only girl in the world for you

But I hate your back, as you turn and walk away

And I hate my heart for begging you to stay

It’s a bitter game, this fever in my soul

The more I try to fight, the more I lose control

The pink of the shells and the red of my lips

Are melting in the fire of your fingertips

Oh, this sweet jealousy is catching fire

If you want to stop it, take me higher

Hold me so tight, make me lose my mind

Leave the rest of the world far behind

My red lips are wet, shining in the light

My sighs are drowning in the dreams of the night

I hate your eyes

I hate that ice

But I can't leave you

Sweet, sweet jealousy
