each time i see a happy pair,
the green eyed monster comes,
he flies to sit upon my shoulder,
and says 'look at those happy ones'
'don't you wish you had someone,
had someone to hold,
someone to have by your side,
to be with while you grow old'
'someone who knows how to fix things,
when you are feeling blue,
even if it means just simply saying
"i love you" '
until the happy couple leave,
the green eyed monster stays.
but even after he's long gone,
he haunts my mind for days.

Teardrops On My Guitar
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
And she's got everything that I have to live without
Drew talks to me, I laugh 'cause it's so just funny
That I can't even see anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right,
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night
[Chorus:]
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky 'cause
[Chorus]
So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down and maybe
Get some sleep tonight
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
He's the time taken up, but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into.
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see.

Girl Next Door lyrics
Small town homecoming queen
She's a star in this scene
There's no way to deny she's lovely
Perfect skin, perfect hair
Perfumed hearts everywhere
Tell myself that inside she's ugly
Maybe I'm just jealous-I can't help but hate her
Secretly I wonder if my boyfriend wants to date her
She is the prom queen, I'm in the marching band
She is a cheerleader, I'm sitting in the stands
She gets the top bunk, I'm sleeping on the floor
She's Miss America
And I'm just the girl next door
Senior class president
She must be heaven sent
She was never the last one standing
A backseat debutante
Everything that you want
Never too harsh or too demanding
Maybe I'll admit it, I'm a little bitter
Everybody loves her, but I just wanna hit her…
Chorus
I don't know why I'm feeling sorry for myself
Spend all my time wishing that I was someone else
Chorus
I get a little bit, she gets a little more
She's Miss America
And I'm just the girl next door

A tale of envy and compassion
There was once two houses. One house was on the sunny side of the
street. It was brand spanking new, had a rose garden, a new car, and a
furniture truck was pulling up bringing lots of new couches and beds.
Life seems good.
Across the street, the sun hardly ever shined through the windows. The
house was brown and run down. There was an eviction notice on the door
and the electric was shut off. The siding was coming off the house and
the windows were drafty.
Life seems dismal.
There were two women. One woman lived on the sunny side of the street.
She had long blonde hair and blue eyes and a pretty smile. She had an
easy way about her. Many people wanted to be her friend. The people
didn't stay very long though only long enough to look at all of her
possessions and then they were gone. The woman sat on her patio and
gazed across the street. She wondered what it would be like to live
over there for just one day.
The woman on the dark side of the street coughed. She wasn't feeling
very well. She had this cough for over a month now. There wasn't any
money for medicine but somehow she found a reason to smile. It was a
beautiful day and the children were playing down the street. She loved
the smell of autumn in the air. She looked across the street. She
noticed that the rich woman didn't look very happy. She wondered why.
The woman on the sunny side of the street goes inside. She takes off her
sunglasses to reveal a black eye. She wonders if anyone heard the
terrible argument that occured last night. She would feel shame if they
did. How could she hold her head up if anyone knew the truth? How she
envied the woman across the street. She always was smiling. She
wondered why someone with nothing could be so happy about life. She
wished she knew the secret. She wanted what she had.
The woman on the dark side of the street felt sorry for the rich woman.
Of course, she had money and friends, but something good was missing.
Her eyes were empty. There was no glow to her cheeks. No life inside.
Maybe she could help. She went inside and cut up some pie and made a
thermos of coffee.
She walked across the street with her small token of friendship.
The woman on the sunny side of the street was baffled. Why would she
want to visit me? What does she want? Money?
The woman came over and shook her hand. "I know we have been living
across the street for ages, but I always wanted to meet you. I never
had the courage to come over until today." Hello, my name is Susan.. She
smiled at her. She gave the rich woman the pie and coffee.
The rich woman wept. "You know many people visit me to just look at what
I have. Many people envy me and want to be like me. This is what I am
really like." She took off her sunglasses to reveal her black eye.
"Oh my! You need a doctor now. Let me drive you there?"
"You would do that for me, a stranger?"
"Yes. Not a stranger anymore. A friend."
She took her hand and helped her in the car. Compassion check mated Envy
and Friendship conquers Fear.
"It will be alright from now on. Open your heart. You never know what
goes on across a tiny street. A friend is only a few feet away that can
turn your life around.
"Let's see if we can take care of that cough."
Two women as different as day and night.
"Right after we call the police and make sure you are safe."
"Thanks for looking out for me."
"I just care. What is life without compassion?"
"Nothing except empty envy and jealousies."
