Oh how wrong can you be

Oh to fall in love

Was my very first mistake

How was I to know

I was far too much in love to see



Jealousy, look at me now

Jealousy, you got me somehow

You gave me no warning

Took me by surprise

Jealousy, you led me on



You couldn't lose

You couldn't fail

You had suspicion on my trail

How, how, how, oh my jealousy

I wasn't man enough

To let you hurt my pride

Now I'm only left with my own jealousy



Oh how strong can you be

With matters of the heart

Life is much to short

To while away with tears

If only you could see

Just what you do to me



Jealousy, you tripped me up

Jealousy, you brought me down

You bring me sorrow

You cause me pain

Jealousy, when will you let go



Gotta hold of my possesive mind

Turned me into a jealous kind

How, how, how, oh my jealousy

I wasn't man enough

To let you hurt my pride

Now I'm only left with my own jealousy



But now it matters not

If I should live or die

Cause I'm only left with my own jealousy
