I met her we fell in love and we parted
The same old story that a million tongues can tell
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
Oh yes I tried Lord knows I tried to make her happy
But the eyes of jealous love are always blind
And I knew if I hung around much longer
That one or both of us was sure to lose our mind
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 angel
But the door of jealousy won't let me in
