Jealous Bone

Patty Loveless · Icon [2011]

(Steve Bogard - Rick Giles)



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...
