Oh how wrong can you be ? 
Oh to fall in love 
Was my very first mistake 
How was I to know 
I was far too much in love to see ? 
Oh jealousy look at me now 
Jealousy you got me somehow 
You gave me no warning 
Took me by surprise 
Jealousy you led me on 
You couldn't lose, you couldn't fail 
You had suspicion on my trail 

How how how all my jealousy 
I wasn't man enough to let you hurt my pride 
Now I'm only left with my own jealousy 

Oh how strong can you be 
With matters of the heart ? 
Life is much too short 
To while away with tears 
If only you could see 
Just what you do to me (oh jealousy) 
Jealousy you tripped me up 
Jealousy you brought me down 
You bring me sorrow, you cause me pain 
Jealousy when will you let go ? 
Gotta hold of my possessive mind 
Turned me into a jealous kind 

How how how all my jealousy 
I wasn't man enough to let you hurt my pride 
Now I'm only left with my own jealousy 
But now it matters not 
If I should live or die 
'Cause I'm only left with my own jealousy
