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 ?
Oh 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 all 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 too short
To while away with tears
If only you could see
Just what you do to me (oh jealousy)
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 possessive mind
Turned me into a jealous kind

How how how all 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
