Jealous Lover

(album: Alphabet City - 1987)

To all of those who had their doubts
Now those doubts, I forgive them
To everyone who's led one life
Then love life, its humble rhythm

To all of those who harbor dreams
All you get is what you're given
Meanwhile the maximum
Maximum goes down

Right from the start I knew you'd break my heart
Jealous lover, jealous lover
Rope tied and bound, I've been lost and found
Jealous lover, jealous lover

Jealous of my loving, jealous of my leaving
Jealous
Jealous of my living, jealous of my breathing
Jealous lover, jealous lover

If all they say and do were true
Just like you, I'd be with them
But lies survive and cut right through
While the truth remains forbidden

For every single point of view
Then there's two that must be hidden
Meantime the maximum
Maximum goes down

Right from the start I knew you'd break my heart
Jealous lover, jealous lover
Rope tied and bound, I've been lost and found
Jealous lover, jealous lover

Jealous of my loving, jealous of my leaving
Jealous
Jealous of my living, jealous of my breathing
Jealous lover, there's no other

Meantime the maximum
Maximum
Nothing more and nothing less
Grip tight the maximum

The maximum
You say no, I say yes
Don't be, don't be, don't be
Jealous lover, jealous lover
