"Jealous Heart" Lyrics

(Dolly Parton)

Mine is a jealous heart
Imagines things that never are
Builds a fire from a tiny spark
But that's the way of a jealous heart.

Sunny skies and a rosy bed of thorns and storm clouds up ahead
'Cause suddenly the sky turns dark for those of us with a jealous heart
Imagination runnin' wild like a frantic frightened child
Anytime that we're apart I can't control my jealous heart.

And you know mine is a jealous heart
And every hurt leaves a lasting scar
Don't you hate yourself for the fool you are
When you're cursed with a jealous heart.

--- Instrumental ---

I love you more than words can tell one day's heaven two days hell
Suspicious words like poison darts spoken from my jealous heart
Mine is a jealous heart imagines things that never are
Builds a fire from a tiny spark but that's the way of a jealous heart.

And you know mine, you know mine is a jealous heart
And every hurt, and every hurt leaves a lasting scar
Don't you hate yourself for the fool you are
When you're cursed with a jealous heart...
