ON JEALOUSY: AN ATTEMPT AT COMPOSING A TUNE WITH MY OWN LYRICS

(This post is a tribute to a friend who provided me the theme for some lyrics that I penned down by providing me with the link between inflated Egos & jealousy. Unfortunately, I can’t sing it for my friend but I’m doing the next best thing. Posting it here for my friends)


The deepest sea, is only jealousy
caused by a feeling of inferiority
Just a threat posed by insecurity
Leading to simple jealousy

Just don’t look at him, her and others
Just look closely at yourself
Don’t allow room for ruffled feathers
Attach no importance to power and pelf

The deepest sea is only jealousy
caused by a feeling of inferiority
Just a threat posed by insecurity
Leading to plain jealousy

You may be better at some than the others
They may be better than the others
Remember it’s not what is said by the others
But yourself, which is better than the others

The deepest sea is only jealousy
caused by a feeling of inferiority
Just a threat posed by insecurity
Leading to plain jealousy

Don’t get totally worked up
by what others falsely think
Don’t put on any make-up
Just to make yourself appear pink

The deepest sea is only jealousy
caused by a feeling of inferiority
Just a threat posed by insecurity
Leading to plain jealousy

It is only lack of self respect
That causes plain jealousy
Look at yourself with respect
And there will be no ego or vanity

The deepest sea is only jealousy
caused by a feeling of inferiority
Just a threat posed by insecurity
Leading to plain jealousy


Oooh! Plain and simple jealousy
Destroying our fraternity
Limiting all human possibility
For ever and for all eternity
