Lyrics Jealous Lover - 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
