jealous

I see them staring and I bite back a grin Like a cat watching birds through a cracked open door Every glance they steal makes my pulse spin But oh baby, I know you’re mine for sure You laugh when I twitch, when I lean just too close Like it’s cute that I snap when they breathe your name But I like how your chest rises when I impose Like you’re secretly thrilled by my little game I get jealous, eyes on you make me wild Like a beast with a toy, I pounce and I smile It’s a sweet little sickness, a delicious vice I’m crazy for you, and you like it nice I trace their shadows when they hover too near Counting the seconds they dare to exist But I wrap you in whispers, pull you in here And laugh when you shiver at my grip on your wrist You tease me and say that I’m insane But your heat tells me otherwise Every flutter of fear mixed with pleasure and pain Is the look in your eyes I memorize I get jealous, eyes on you make me wild Like a beast with a toy, I pounce and I smile It’s a sweet little sickness, a delicious vice I’m crazy for you, and you like it nice I imagine the room emptying out fast All the curious faces gone in a blink Just you in my arms, shadows on the glass While I hum a little tune that makes them think Maybe I’m twisted, maybe I’m mad You giggle like it’s thrilling to see But you still let me pull you close, hold you bad And whisper “don’t let them get ideas about me.” Let them look, I find it divine Let them dream, it only excites Because you tremble when I claim what’s mine And I love that little spark in your eyes
