Jealous Heart

(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 of 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

Anytime 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.



--- Instrumental ---



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...
