Everytime I think I'm OK

I'm in trouble again

I just can't seem to get away

From this emotional sin

I'm inferiority bound

And lost in despair

Harmony can never be found

When I begin to compare



Envy and jealousy

They make me so small

Envy and Jealousy

Are there when I fall



You're my only hope

To be saved from this oppression within

Show me there is nothing to be gained

By recognition of men



Envy and jealousy

Invading my mind

Envy and jealousy

They're wasting my time

Envy and jealousy

They make me so small

Envy and jealousy

They're there when I fall



I can recall when I was quite young

I had it all except for the one I wanted

Well that's envy and jealousy



I know it's a sin we're all caught in

But I don't want to be here forever

'Cause it feels like a chain wrapped around my neck

And it's bringin' me down

I know it's a trap we all fall in

But I don't wanna be here tomorrow

So I'm askin' for help

Won't you please get me out

Won't you take it away?
