Jealous
I put this video of Nina's "Jealous" because of two things:
1. Even if Nina has been exposed to death these past few years, I still think this is an excellent song and she, and excellent and soulful singer, back when she was still starting out (before she became a Regine Velasquez wannabe). Now, I think Juris of MYMP is the better singer because she has perfect diction and pronunciation. I can actually understand the lyrics of what she is singing (unlike other singers, actually most of them, who mumble their words, sacrificing clarity with "vocal gymnastics")
2. I'm sincerely feeling jealous right now. No, I'm not in a relationship (like some people who wish I was in, with anybody). I'm feeling jealous of Pakistan right now. You know the reason.
Anyway, getting ready to play at a funeral mass this morning. Then off to work.
Enjoy your long vacation. Happy Quezon Day, MLQ3!
"Jealous"
By Nina
Jealous of the girl who caught your eye
One of my darker days
When you looked at her where was I?
Shoulda been in her place
Here I am
All alone imagining what might have been
What could have been
If I had been there
[Chorus:]
Jealous of the one who'se arms are around you
If she's keeping you satisfied
Jealous of the one who finally found you
Made your sun and your stars collide
La la la la la la la
She's a very very lucky girl
La la la la la la la
Jealous of the one who won your heart
They say it's a perfect match
She's gonna get to be where you are
And I don't get better than that
She'll say you're fine
Whisper words I wish were mine
And they might have been
If I had been there
[Repeat Chorus]
You know I'd fight the good fight
If I thought I'd change your mind
But if she makes you happy
I would leave that dream behind
Man, she better treat you right
And give you everything
Cause at the moment she doesn't
I'll be waiting in the wings
[Repeat Chorus]
La la la la la la la
She's a very very lucky girl
