Jealousy Songtext
von Tommy Shaw

I open the door, I turn on the lights
I can feel it in my bones, something just isn′t right
The room smells like a cigarette and your hair looks a mess
And didn't you think I′d notice all the wrinkles in your dress
When I look in your eyes, I can tell something's wrong
There's no use in denying girl, I′ve known you too long
There′s something going on, I'm not sure what it is
But let me tell you, it′s my business if it is

Jealousy, got a hold on me
These foolish thoughts won't let it be
I can almost see his face as he′s kissing you
I can't control my jealousy


When you answer the phone, are you really alone?
It′s like I'm talking to a stranger, do you think I don't know?
You say he′s just a friend, and I′ll try my best to understand
I'm a man and I know men, so don′t you ask me to pretend
I'm all for liberation and I′m all for being fair
And I'm all for doing what it takes to show how much I care
But you pushed me too far, knocked my back against the wall
And it′s no big surprise to you, there's a limit after all

And jealousy, it's got a hold on me
My foolish heart won′t let me be
No matter what I do, these crazy thoughts won′t let me be
I can't control my jealousy, jealousy

I′ve broken hearts a time or two, so I guess it's only fair
You did to me what I did to them, now you don′t seem to care
True love's still going on, we both will survive
And if you can count as living girl, I guess it′s great to be alive

Jealousy, got a hold on me
And my foolish heart won't let me be
It looks like this must be my destiny
I can't control my jealousy, jealousy
Jealousy, got a hold on me
My foolish heart just can′t let it be
I can move the biggest mountain girl, that much I can do
But I can′t control my jealousy, not for you


Jealousy, got a hold on me
Jealousy, got a hold on me
I can't control my jealousy
Jealousy, got a hold on me
