Looking
I saw you look at another girl
And jealousy filled my head
Instantly I got an image
Of you taking her to bed
You smiled as she walked up
While I took a step back
You looked at me and I felt you saw
Everything she has that I lack
We both had work to do
So you said you'd call me later
When you waved at her and left
I knew I was starting to hate her
As you walked away
My eyes filled up with tears
Losing you and losing love
Are two of my greatest fears
I washed away my sorrow
As past conversations came to mind
I remembered a saying you told me to think of
When jealousy had me in a bind
"If there's one thing that aids the prevention
Of jealousy's heartbreaking plight
It's not who you see through the day
It's who you come home to at night"
It really got me thinking
I do the same "glancing," too
I don't mean anything by it
But do you think I do?
I guess looking IS harmless
It's nothing more than that
If we trust each other enough
We know our love won't fall flat
So you can look at whoever you want
And I know it'll be alright
As long as when you come home
It's me you'll be holding tight
