Mr Jealousy

I made a new friend, funny how it happened
On the same day I fell in love with you
He just happened along, I recognized his face, so sad and drawn
He stands beside me now, when you go home to her.

My buddy?s really something,
he makes me feel like I can break through walls
Then he?ll turn around and just watch me as I fall
But he gives me life, when I feel like I?m dying
He holds me so tightly when I see your light go out.

My love, you don?t seem to understand
The longer you can go on holding someone, someone else?s hand
The closer I get to Mr. Jealousy
And I don?t know if he?ll let me go.

I made a new friend, it?s not that funny in the end
He?s moving right into the place I was saving for you
Hurry up and make up your mind, or maybe it?s too late this time
I can?t tell the difference now between you and this friend of mine.

I made a new friend, it?s not that funny in the end
He?s moving right into the place I had for you
Hurry up and make up your mind, or maybe it?s too damn late this time
There is no difference now between you and this friend of mine.

friend of mine, (ad lib. over vamp...)
Mr. Jealousy, he?s so unkind
This friend of mine..
