Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't complain about the way we try
So baby it's the time to say goodbye
Not gunna look around I'm just gunna look away

Don't put the reasons back in my head
You said you loved me now you left me for dead
Not gunna look at you I'm just gunna look away
It's that Jealousy
Comin' over me
It's that Jealousy
Breakin my heart
Whoaahh Jealousy
Takin' control of me

But you just gotta know
That I can't let it go
And it's time that you knew
I can't stop lovin' you

No no no no no no no

You said that I'm all set on ??
But all I tried to do was go with you
Not gunna stick around I ain't gonna stick it out

Now listen!

It's been forever since you broke my heart
I'll tell ya baby that were comin' down hard
Not gunna look around I'm just gonna look away

It's that Jealousy
Comin' over me
It's that Jealousy
Breakin my heart
Whoaahh Jealousy
Takin' control of me

But you just gotta know
That I can't let it go
And it's time that you knew
I can't stop lovin' you

Ohhhhh

Comin' over me
It's that Jealousy
Breakin' my heart

Ohhhhh

Written by B.Adams, but....... rearranged by PRiSM, performed with Ron's vocals & delivered to PERFECTION. (Sorry Bryan - even including your re-released / modernised adaptation, PRiSM have delivered the best version of this song - by far. A ripping, foot taping, rhythmic track to cruise to in the car, simply - just Excellent).
