Don't be angry if I seem rude
Each time we meet
Someone that you once knew
That you say used to be so close to you
It's just that I'm so afraid
Someone might steal you away
I'd lose my mind
You must forgive me for
The things I say sometimes
Guess I'm the jealous kind
It was alright when I first met you
I didn't mind
But now things have changed
I'm not the same
And now I find
I want you all to myself
I don't want to share you with nobody else
And I can't help myself
The way I act sometimes
Guess I'm the jealous kind
If you only knew how much it hurts
To hear you say
How you can't forget
That before we met
Those were the good old days
Why must you hurt me so
I can't take it no more
And I'm really tryin'
And baby I know that you don't like it
And I try so hard to hide it
But I'm the jealous kind
