Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I used to be mellow
Till you got ahold of me
Now I feel like a fellow
Dyin' of jealousy
[Verse 2]
Where were you late last night? I passed your house, I saw no light
I called you on the phone a hundred times, you weren't at home
Don't say just out with friends, I can't believe that line again
Don't tell me just be cool, you know I ain't that big a fool
[Verse 3]
Why must you play with me? Why don't you stay with me?
I'm in a difficult position
I don't mean to push and shove, I just want all your love
I'm sick and tired of the suspicion
[Verse 4]
You gave me that sweet look
You cast a spell on me
I swallowed a needle
Now I'm dyin' of jealousy
[Verse 5]
I cry when I should laugh at your old lover's photograph
You say no need to shout, well how come you never threw it out?
What did you do all day, your mind's a million miles away
You say just in my room, well I would like to know with whom
[Verse 6]
Why must you play with me? Why don't you stay with me?
I'm in a difficult position
I don't mean to push and shove, I just want all your love
I'm sick and tired of the suspicion
[Verse 7]
My heart is burnin' up with jealousy
This jealous feeling's got a hold of me
My heart is burnin' up with jealousy
This jealous feeling's got a hold of me
My heart is burnin' up with jealousy
This jealous feeling's got a hold of me
