Lyrics

When I see you out on the town, I watch as everyone gathers round,
I just want to get in close, but I’m too shy to approach
They circle round you like the Sun, I want to be your only one
It’s so hard for me to see, why do they choose you over me.

Ivory and Ebony, playing in the key of Jealousy
So many hands have touched you, their melodies possess you
Ivory and Ebony, why can’t I just let you be.
Ivory and Ebony, you got me out of Harmony.

Every time I’m see you, all I want to do is make us one
In my friend’s apartment, in the auditorium
In the hotel lobby, on the way to catch a bus
And if someone should hear us, will the performance be enough.

Ivory and Ebony, playing in the key of Jealousy
So many hands have touched you, their melodies possess you
Ivory and Ebony, why can’t I just let you be.
Ivory and Ebony, you got me out of Harmony.

Anytime I’m near you, I want to feel your touch
Want a piece of the action, sometimes it’s just too much.

Ivory and Ebony, playing in the key of Jealousy
So many hands have touched you, their melodies possess you
Ivory and Ebony, why can’t I just let you be.
Ivory and Ebony, you got me out of Harmony.
