Lyrics of Jealousy - Remastered 2011 by Queen
verse
Oh how wrong can you be?
Oh to fall in love
Was my very first mistake
How was I to know
I was far too much in love to see?
Oh jealousy look at me now
Jealousy you got me somehow
You gave me no warning
Took me by surprise
Jealousy you led me on
You couldn′t lose you couldn't fail
You had suspicion on my trail
How how how all my jealousy
I wasn′t man enough to let you hurt my pride
Now I'm only left with my own jealousy
Oh how strong can you be
With matters of the heart?
Life is much too short
To while away with tears
If only you could see
Just what you do to me (Oh jealousy)
chorus
Jealousy you tripped me up
Jealousy you brought me down
You bring me sorrow. you cause me pain
Jealousy when will you let go?
Gotta hold of my possessive mind
Turned me into a jealous guy
verse
How how how all my jealousy
I wasn't man enough to let you hurt my pride
Now I′m only left with my own jealousy
But now it matters not
If I should live or die
′Cause I'm only left with my own jealousy
Writer(s): Freddie Mercury
