The Rolling Stones - Jealous Lover

Listen to me

Yeah, yeah

You said you'd let me live my life

No fetters and no chains

I believed your every word

Now your tune has changed

One day after coffee

You fixed me with a stare

And said where were you on Friday night?

Tell me who was there?

Well the only problem is

Well the only problem is

You're such a part of me

Hands off jealous lover

Please let me be

And you pray like a mantis

You're emerald green

Hands off jealous lover

The joke's right on me

You're clinging like ivy

You're choking a tree

We were once so generous

Sharing secrets of the heart

Now the fruit is turning sour

Got a bad taste in my mouth

You can't control the ocean

You can't control the waves

You can't control the shadows

Flickering in my cave

'Cause there's just one thing

Well there's just one thing

They'll only be a half of me, yeah

Hands off jealous lover

Please let me be

Your eyes full of envy

And you're emerald green

Hands off jealous lover

Your words harsh and mean

You pray like a mantis

You're feeding off me

Let it go, let it go, let it go, now

Let it go, let it go, let it go, now

Come on

(Let it go, let it go, let it go)

Hand off me

(Let it go, let it go, let it go)

You got to let me go baby

Let it go, let it go, let it go

Let it go, let it go, let it go

Come on, come on baby

Hands off jealous lover

Please let me be

And you pray like a mantis

You're emerald green

Hands off jealous lover

The joke's right on me

The pearls 'round your neck

They don't make you a queen

Hands off jealous lover

Please let me be

Your eyes are so cutting

You're my own guillotine

Hands off jealous lover

Your words harsh and mean

You pray like a mantis

You're feeding off me
