Jealous Kind Songtext
von Jars of Clay

I built another temple to a stranger
I gave away my heart to the rushing wind
I set my course to run right into danger
Sought the company of fools instead of friends

I know I′ve been unfaithful
With lovers in lines
While You're turnin′ over tables
With the rage of a jealous kind

I chose the gallows to the aisle
Thought that love would never find
Hangin' ropes will never keep You
And Your love of a jealous kind
Love of a jealous kind

Tried to jump away from rock that keeps on spreading
Solace in the shift of the sinking sand
I'd rather feel the pain all too familiar
Than be broken by a lover I don′t understand
′Cause I don't understand


You know I′ve been unfaithful
With lovers in lines
While You're turnin′ over tables
With the rage of a jealous kind

I chose the gallows to the aisle
I thought that love would never find
But hangin' ropes will never keep You
And Your love of a jealous kind
Love of a jealous kind
Love of a jealous kind, yeah
Love of a jealous kind
Love of a jealous kind

One hundred other lovers
For one hundred other altars
(If I)
If I should slow my pace (slow my pace)
Finally subject me to grace (love)
Love that shames the wise (love)
Betrays the heart′s deceit and lies
(Breaks the back) breaks the back of foolish pride


You know I've been unfaithful
With lovers in lines
While You're turnin′ over tables
With the rage of a jealous kind

I chose the gallows to the aisle
(Thinkin′ love) thought that love would never find
But hangin' ropes will never keep You
And Your love of a jealous kind (love of a jealous kind)
Your love of a jealous kind, oh-oh (love, love)
Love of a jealous kind, yeah (of a jealous kind)

Love of a jealous kind
Love of a jealous kind (of a jealous kind)
