To all of those who had their doubts
Now those doubts… I forgive ’em
To everyone who’s led one life
Then love life… its humble rhythm
To all of those who harbour dreams
All you get… is what you’re given
Meanwhile the maximum… maximum goes down
Right from the start
I knew you’d break my heart
Jealous lover… jealous lover
Rope tied and bound
I been lost and found
Jealous lover… jealous lover
Jealous of my loving
Jealous of my leaving… jealous
Jealous of my living
Jealous of my breathing
Jealous lover… there’s no other
If all they say and do were true
Just like you… I’d be with ’em
But lies survive… remains forbidden
For every single point of view
Then there’s two… that must be hidden
Meantime the maximum… maximum goes down
Right from the start
I knew you’d break my heart
Jealous lover… jealous lover
Rope tied and bound
I been lost and found
Jealous lover… jealous lover
Jealous of my loving
Jealous of my leaving… jealous
Jealous of my living
Jealous of my breathing
Jealous lover… there’s no other
Meantime – the maximum… maximum
Nothing more and nothing less
Grip tight – the maximum… the maximum
You say no… I say yes
Don’t be… don’t be… don’t be…
Jealous lover – jealous lover
