The Jealous Kind - Delbert McClinton

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

And can’t help myself the way I feel sometimes

Yes, I’m the jealous kind

It was alright when I first met you

I didn’t mind

But now things have changed

I’m just not the same and I don’t feel fine

I want you all to myself

Don’t want to share you with nobody else

You must forgive me for the way I act sometimes

'Cause I’m the jealous kind

If you only knew how much it hurts

To hear you say

How you can’t forget

When before we met, those were the good ole days

Why must you hurt me so

I can’t take it no more and I’m really tryin'

I can’t help myself the way I act sometimes

I guess, I’m the jealous kind
