He only plays for you
He likes to watch the way you move
And I can see it on his face
Desire burning like a furnace

Aaliyah, please don't take my man
Although you know that you can
I've never met a boy so true
But there's this something that you do

Aaliyah, please
This is green envy
Why must you taunt me, girl? 

Aaliyah, please
This is green envy
Why must you taunt me, girl?

Aaliyah, please
This is green envy
Why must you taunt me, girl?

Aaliyah, please
Oh, this is green envy
Why must you taunt me, girl?

Another poor excuse
Another bending 'round the truth
And I'm so tired of pretending
I don't believe I'm in defending

All I want is this
Woman to woman, a promise
Give me your word that you will free him
No more games and all your teasing

Aaliyah, please
This is green envy
Why must you taunt me, girl? 

Aaliyah, please
This is green envy
Why must you taunt me, girl?

Aaliyah, please
This is green envy
Why must you taunt me, girl?

Aaliyah, please
Oh, this is green envy
Why must you taunt me, girl?

With every move you make
You know you've got him transfixed
But you can't get pass me, Aaliyah
I won't fall for your tricks
There's no stopping him
As the beat rolls on
I watch from afar
And watch you sing along 

With every move you make
You know you've got him transfixed
But you can't get pass me, Aaliyah
I won't fall for your tricks
There's no stopping him
As the beat rolls on
I watch from afar
And watch you sing along

And watch you sing along...

Why can't he play a song for me?...
