The Jealous Kind
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't be angry if I seem rude each time we meet
A boy that you once knew
That you say used to be so close to you
It's just that I'm so afraid
Someone might steal you away
Girl, I'd lose my mind
I can't help myself, the way I feel sometimes
Yeah, I'm the jealous kind
It was alright when I first met you
Girl, I didn't mind
But now things have changed
I'm just not the same and now I find
I want you all to myself
I don't want to share you with nobody else
You must forgive me, for the way I act sometimes
Yes, I'm the jealous kind
oh baby,
If you only knew how much it hurts to hear you say
How you can't forget
That before we met, those were the good old days
Why must you hurt me so
I can't stand it no more
And girl I'm really tryin'
I can't help myself, the way I act sometimes
I guess, I'm the jealous kind
oh, baby
Yeah, I'm the jealous kind
