Jealous Minds

(Album: Sweet Potato Pie - 1997)

Some people live to ruin a love so fine
They know they'll never have what's yours and mine
I know things won't get any better while we're apart
So stop talking to your friends, and try listening with your heart
They always try to tell you all that they see
Jealous minds will tell you what they think about me
They'll show themselves in time
To be nothing but jealous minds
I took you out to a party, a high-class affair
You were talking to your friends, like I wasn't there
You told them that living with me has really been one big chore
Oh, then maybe I should leave, and you'd appreciate me more
They always try to tell you all that they see
Jealous minds will tell you what they think about me
They'll show themselves in time
To be nothing but jealous minds

Oh, tell your friends when you see them
When you see them again
Tell them about the hard times, how we survived the pain
Then don't waste any more time
Because they're nothing but jealous minds
Jealous minds
Ohhhh, they're nothing but jealous minds
Hey, hey
Jealous minds
Hey, hey
Jealous minds
Always trying to tell you what they think of me
Hey, hey, hey
Jealous minds
