Tennessee Ernie Ford
Jealous Heart
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
I was part of everything she'd 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
[Verse 3]
You have filled my conscience full of sorrow
For I know she never was untrue
Jеalous heart, why did you make her hatе me?
Now there's nothing left but jealous you
[Verse 4]
Many times I trusted you to guide me
But your guiding only bought me tears
Why, oh, why must I have you inside me
Jealous heart, for all my lonely years?
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Through the years, her 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
