Words and music by Robbie Smith
How could you ever smile so sweetly at another man?
(Another man)
How could you give yourself completely?
I just can’t understand
I thought I wore the shoes that no one else could fill
Jealousy is such a bitter pill and I don’t wanna take it no more
(Jealousy – no I don’t wanna take it no more)
How can you bear to stand by idly while our love grows dim?
(It’s getting dim)
How could you say that you’d stay beside me
And then go out with him?
I thought we had something that no one else could take
Jealousy can cause any heart to break
And I don’t wanna take it no more
(Jealousy – no I don’t wanna take it no more… jealousy)
Why don’t you break down and cry
And say that I must be mistaken
Why don’t you stop and deny
That our future plans have all been forsaken
How can you face the shame that lingers when the night is through?
(The night is through)
What will you do with that ring on your finger
Whenever he’s with you?
It’s just too hard to be civil after all the things I’ve heard
Jealousy is such a nasty word
And I don’t wanna hear it no more
Jealousy – no I don’t wanna hear it no more
Jealousy – no I don’t wanna hear it no more
Jealousy – no I don’t wanna hear it no more
Jealousy
