Ghosts Lyrics

[Chorus]
And who gave you the right to scare my family?
And who gave you the right to share my baby, she needs me
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?

[Post-Chorus]
You put a knife in my back, shot an arrow in me!
Tell me, are you the ghost of jealousy?
The ghost of jealousy

[Verse 3]
There's a thumping in the floor
There's a creak behind the door
There's a rocking in the chair
But nobody's sitting there
There's a ghostly smell around
But nobody to be found
And a coffin in-lay open
Where a restless soul is spoiling, don't understand it!

[Refrain]
Got a ghost, got a break in the walls (Yeah-yeah!)
Got a ghoul, got a break in the halls, gotta see it, won't ya?
(Don't understand it!)
Got a ghost, got a break in the walls
Got a ghoul, got a break in the halls, gotta see it, won't ya?
(You just a doggone!)
Got a ghost, got a break in the walls (Aouw!)
Got a ghoul, got a break in the halls, gotta see it, won't ya?
Got a ghost, got a break in the walls
Got a ghoul, got a break in the halls, gotta see it (I said)
[Chorus]
And who gave you the right to scare my family?
And who gave you the right to scare my baby? She needs me
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?
And who gave you the right to take intrusion, to see me?
And who gave you the right to shake my family?
And who gave you the right to hurt my baby? She needs me
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?

[Post-Chorus]
You put a knife in my back, shot an arrow in me!
Tell me, are you the ghost of jealousy?
A suckin' ghost of jealousy
Aaow!

[Chorus]
And who gave you the right to shake my family?
And who gave you the right to scare my baby? She needs me
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree? (Hold on, now)
And who gave you the right to take intrusion, to see me? (Didn't I, baby)
And who gave you the right to hurt my family? (You just a doggone, yeah)
And who gave you the right to hurt my baby? She needs me (Baby)
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree? (Hold on, now)

[Post-Chorus]
You put a knife in my back, shot an arrow in me!
Tell me, are you the ghost of jealousy?
The ghost of jealousy
