Jealous Heart Lyrics - Jean Shepard

Jealous heart, oh, jealous heart, stop beating 

Can't you see the damage you have done? 

You have driven him away forever 

Jealous heart, now I'm the lonely one 

I was part of everything he planned for 

And I know he loved me at the start 

Now he hates the sight of all I stand for 

All because of you, oh, jealous heart 

You have filled my conscience full of sorrow 

For I know, he never was untrue 

Jealous heart, why did you make him hate me? 

Now there's nothing left but jealous you 

Many times I trusted you to guide me 

But your guiding only brought me tears 

Why, oh, why must I have you inside me 

Jealous heart, for all my lonely years? 

Jealous heart, why did I let you rule me 

When I knew the end would bring me pain? 

Now he's gone, he's gone and found another 

Oh, I'll never see my love again 

Through the years, his memory will haunt me 

Even though we're many miles apart 

It's so hard to know he'll never want me 

'Cause he heard your beating, jealous heart
