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
