Mine is a jealous heart
Imagines things that never are
Builds a fire from a tiny spark
But that’s the way of a jealous heart

Sunny skies and a rosy bed
Thorns and storm clouds up ahead
‘Cause suddenly the sky turns dark
For those of us with a jealous heart

Imagination runnin’ wild
Like a frantic frightened child
Any time that we’re apart
I can’t control my jealous heart

And you know mine is a jealous heart
And every hurt leaves a lasting scar
Don’t you hate yourself for the fool you are
When you’re cursed with a jealous heart

I love you more than words can tell
One day’s heaven two days hell
Suspicious words like poison darts
Spoken from my jealous heart

Mine is a jealous heart
Imagines things that never are
Builds a fire from a tiny spark
But that’s the way of a jealous heart

And you know mine, you know mine is a jealous heart
And every hurt, and every hurt leaves a lasting scar
Don’t you hate yourself for the fool you are
When you’re cursed with a jealous heart

And you know mine, you know mine is a jealous heart
Imagines things, imagines things that never are
Builds a fire from a tiny spark
But that’s the way of a jealous heart
