Jealous Bone
Patty Loveless · Icon [2011]
Somewhere deep down inside my heart
Makes me feel things that tear me apart
Got a jealous bone, got a jealous bone
Ever since you walked into my life
Can't bear to see you out of my sight
Got a jealous bone, got a jealous bone.
And I know I'm gonna run you off
If I don't learn to let you go
But oh you make me lose control
I was born with a jealous bone.
See heads turn when you walk in a room
I know what they're thinking cause I'm thinking it too
Got a jealous bone, a jealous bone
Feel blood pound through all of my veins
Every last part of me is calling your name
Got a jealous bone, got a jealous bone.
And I know I'm gonna run you off
If I don't learn to let you go
But oh you make me lose control
I was born with a jealous bone.
Jealous bone, jealous bone
Jealous bone, got a jealous bone.
--- Instrumental ---
Got to have you baby all to myself
I can't stand the thought of you with anyone else
Got a jealous bone, jealous bone
Jealous bone, jealous bone
Jealous bone, got a jealous bone...
