Look into my eyes, can't you see they're open wide
Would I lie to you, baby, would I lie to you (Oh, yeah)
Don't you know it's true, girl, there's no one else but you
Would I lie to you, baby, yeah c'mon
Everybody wants to know the truth
I've hidden my heart behind the bedroom door
Now it's open, I can't do no more
I'm telling you, baby, you will never find another girl
In this heart of mine (Oh-oh)
Look into my eyes, can't you see they're open wide
Would I lie to you, baby, would I lie to you (Oh, yeah)
Don't you know it's true, girl, there's no one else but you
Would I lie to you, baby, yeah (Would I lie to you) c'mon
Everybody's got their history (History)
On every page a mystery (It's a mystery, yeah)
You can read my diary, you're in every line
Jealous minds, never satisfied
I'm telling you, baby, you will never find another girl
In this heart of mine (In this heart of mine)
Look into my eyes, can't you see they're open wide
Would I lie to you, baby, would I lie to you (Oh, yeah)
Don't you know it's true, girl, there's no one else but you
Would I lie to you, baby, yeah (Would I lie to you)
When you wanna see me night and day
(Would I lie) If I tell you that I'm here to stay
(Would I lie to you Do you think I give my love away
(Would I lie?) That's not the kind of game I play
I'm telling you, baby, you will never find another girl
In this heart of mine (In this heart of mine, deep in my heart)
Whoo! look into my eyes, can't you see they're open wide
Would I lie to you, baby, would I lie to you (Oh, yeah)
Don't you know it's true, girl, there's no one else but you
Would I lie to you, baby, yeah (Would I lie to you
(Would I lie to you, baby)
Look into my eyes, can't you see they're open wide
Would I lie to you, baby, would I lie to you (Oh, yeah)
Don't you know it's true, girl, there's no one else but you
Would I lie to you, baby, yeah (Would I lie to you
(Come on, come on, come on, come on and kiss me, baby) (Whoo! Look into my eyes)
I wouldn't lie to you, baby, there ain't no one else but
Charles & Eddie's "Jealousy" is a love song that expresses loyalty to a partner, with the lyrics expressing the singer's sincerity and love for their significant other. The song begins with the singer, holding their lover in their arms, assuring them of their love despite many people wanting to know the truth. He lets the lover know that he has hidden his heart behind the bedroom door, but now it's open and he can't do more to prove that he is sincere with his lover. The singer tells his lover that they will never find another girl in his heart, and there's no one else but her.
The chorus repeats the phrase, "Would I lie to you, baby, would I lie to you," emphasizing his loyalty and that there is no need for jealousy. The second verse talks about how everyone has their history, but the singer wants the lover to know that she's always in every line of his diary. He attests to her that his heart is hers, and he's not playing any games. The song ends with the singer affirming the lover of his loyalty and love.
Overall, "Jealousy" is a song about loyalty, love, and commitment between two consenting adults. It highlights the importance of honesty and sincerity in relationships while emphasizing the need to trust your partner if the relationship is to work.
