Jealous Kind - Bobby Charles

Jealous Kind Lyrics

I built another temple to a stranger
I gave away my heart to the rushing wind
I set my course to run right into danger
I sought the company of fools instead of friendsYou know I've been unfaithful
With lovers in lines
While you're turning over tables
With the rage of a jealous kindI chose the gallows to the aisle
Thought that love would never find
Hanging ropes will never keep you
And your love of a jealous kind
Love of a jealous kindTryin' to jump away from rock that keeps on spreading
Solace in the shift of the sinking sand
I'd rather feel the pain all too familiar
Than be broken by a lover I don't understand
'Cause I don't understandYou know I've been unfaithful
With lovers in lines
While you're turning over tables
With the rage of a jealous kindI chose the gallows to the aisle

And thought that love would never find
Hanging ropes will never keep you
And your love of a jealous kind
Love of a jealous kindLove of a jealous kind, yeah
Love of a jealous kind
Love of a jealous kindOne hundred other lovers, more, one hundred other altars
If I should slow my pace and finally subject me to grace
And love that shames the wise, betrays the heart's deceit and lies
And breaks the back of foolish prideYou know I've been unfaithful
With lovers in lines
While you're turning over tables
With the rage of a jealous kindI chose the gallows to the aisle
Thought that love would never find
Hanging ropes will never keep you
And your love of a jealous kind
And love of a jealous kindLove of a jealous kind, yeah
Love of a jealous kind, oh yeah
Love of a jealous kind
