Tommy Shaw: Jealousy [lyrics]

Tommy Shaw

Jealousy

I open the door

I turn on the lights

I can feel it in my bones

Something just isn't right

The room smells like a cigarette

Your hair looks a mess

And didn't you think I'd notice

All the wrinkles in your dress

When I look in your eyes

I can tell somethings wrong

There's no use in denying girl

I've known you too long

There's something going on

I'm not sure what it is

But let me tell you

It's my business if it's his

Jealousy has got a hold on me

My foolish heart won't let me be

I can almost see his face

As he's kissing you

And I can't control my jealousy

When you answer the phone

Are you really alone

It's like I'm talking to a stranger

Do you think I don't know

You say he's just a friend

And I try my best to understand

But I'm a man and I know men

So don't you ask me to pretend

I'm all for liberation

And I'm all for being fair

And I'm all for doing what it takes

To show how much I care

But you push me too far

Now it's my back against the wall

And it's no big surprise to you

There's a limit after all

Jealousy has got a hold on me

My foolish heart won't let it be

It looks like this must be my destiny

I can't control my jealousy

Jealousy has got a hold on me

My foolish heart won't let it be

I can move the biggest mountain girl

That much I can do

But I can't control my jealousy
