     I guess I'm jealous
     I have to confess
     Of what you may ask
     Of my friend, I attest

     She's prettier than I
     And smarter as well
     She's kinder than me
     What's left to tell

     She's cuter and faster
     All around better, true
     She's "perfect" for so many
     And me?  I'm feeling blue

     Great sense of fashion
     Her clothes are just right
     She knows about makeup
     Me?  I'm a fright

     Her clear bell voice
     As to my ugly rasp
     The green eyed monster
     Has me well within his grasp


     "It doesn't really matter"
     I wish I could say
     But that ain't so true
     Until this very day

     But if I could change myself
     I wouldn't be me
     So I guess I have to say
     "So much for jealousy"
