Jean Shepard Jealous Heart Lyrics

Jealous heart, oh, jealous heart, stop beating
Can't you see the damage you have done?
You have driven him away forever
Jealous heart, now I'm the lonely one

I was part of everything he planned for
And I know he loved me at the start
Now he hates the sight of all I stand for
All because of you, oh, jealous heart

You have filled my conscience full of sorrow
For I know, he never was untrue
Jealous heart, why did you make him hate me?
Now there's nothing left but jealous you
Many times I trusted you to guide me
But your guiding only brought me tears
Why, oh, why must I have you inside me
Jealous heart, for all my lonely years?

Jealous heart, why did I let you rule me
When I knew the end would bring me pain?
Now he's gone, he's gone and found another
Oh, I'll never see my love again

Through the years, his memory will haunt me
Even though we're many miles apart
It's so hard to know he'll never want me
'Cause he heard your beating, jealous heart
