Below, you will find the lyrics for Jealous Lover by The Rolling Stones.
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 problem is
The only problem is
You're such a part of me
Hands off, jealous lover
Please let me be
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, mm
That's right
We were once so generous
Sharing secrets of the heart
Now the fruit is turning sour
Got a bad taste in my mouth
Can't control the ocean
You can't control the waves
Can't control the shadows
Flickering in my cave
But there's just one thing
Well, there's just one thing
There'll only be a half of me
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
Hands off me
You got to let me go, baby
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, yeah
Let it go, let it go
Come on, come on, baby, yeah
Hands off, jealous lover
Please let me be
You pray like a mantis
And yYou're emerald green
Hands off, jealous lover
The joke's right on me
The pearls around 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
