Out from a room
At the back of the bar
He stumbled
Broken and bruised
Blood spewed
From his lips
As he mumbled
That he loved her so
And if any man
Thought they'd
Do better
Then go tell the guy
In the backroom
And tell him
I sent you
When you love someone like fire
The heat of your desire
Can play games inside your mind
Jealousy's an angry liar
She hit him a slap
And cursed the day
That she met him
Called him every name
Exept the one
He was given
Pulled off a ring
And tossed it outside
To the heavens
She cried!
I just can't
Take no more
Of this obsession
My eyes fix on the floor
Avoiding attention
I stare straight at a wall
Or at my reflection
I'm supposed to be in love
Not a possesion
When you're loved
By someone like fire
There's no room for your desire
This love your wings doth bind
Jealousy's an angry liar
When you love someone like fire
The heat of your desire
Can play games inside your mind
Jealousy's an angry liar
