Jealous Heart

(album: Country Memories - 1977)

Jealous Heart, Oh, Jealous Heart stop beating
Can't you see the damage you have done
You have driven her away forever
Jealous Heart, now I'm the lonely one.

I was part of everything she planned for
And I know she loved me at the start
Now she hates the sight of all I stand for
All because of you, old Jealous Heart.

Jealous Heart, why did I let you lead me
When I knew the end would bring me pain
Now she's gone, she's gone and found another
Oh, I'll never see my love again.

Through the years her memory will haunt me
Even though we're many miles apart
It's so hard to know she'll never want me
'Cause she heard your beating Jealous Heart.

Many times I trusted you to guide me
But your guiding only brought me tears
Why oh why must I have you inside me
Jealous Heart, for all my lonely years.
