Jealous Heart (1945)
Jealous Heart oh jealous heart stop beating
Can’t you see the damage you have done?
You have driven her away forever
Jealous heart now I’m the lonely one
I was part of everything she planned for
And I know she loved me at the start
Now she hates the sight of all I stand for
All because of you oh jealous heart
Jealous heart why did I let you rule me
When I knew the end would bring me pain
Now she’s gone, she’s gone and found another
Oh I’ll never see my love again
Through the years here memory will haunt me
Even though we’re many miles apart
It’s so hard to know she’ll never want me
Cause she heard your beating jealous heart
Many times I trusted you to guide me
But your guiding only brought me tears
Why oh why must I have you inside me
Jealous heart for all my lonely years
