I met her we fell in love and we parted

The same old story that a million tongues can tell
G G7 C
Cause she turned out to be jealous hearted

And life for me and for her became a living hell

Oh Lord I'm standing at the doorsteps to heaven

Cause she's asking me to try it once again

One step would take me to the arms of my sweet darling

But the door of jealousy won't let me in
