Jealous Heart

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

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

Any time 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


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


And you know mine, you know mine is a jealous heart

Imagines things, imagines things that never are

Builds a fire from a tiny spark

But that's the way of a jealous heart
