Listen to me Yeah, yeah
You said you'd let me live my life No fetters and no chains
I believed your every word Now your tune has changed
One day after coffee You fixed me with a stare
And said where were you on Friday night? Tell me who was there?
Well the only problem is Well the only problem is You're such a part of me
* Hands off jealous lover Please let me be And you pray like a mantis You're emerald green
Hands off jealous lover The joke's right on me You're clinging like ivy You're choking a tree
We were once so generous Sharing secrets of the heart
Now the fruit is turning sour Got a bad taste in my mouth
You can't control the ocean You can't control the waves
You can't control the shadows Flickering in my cave
'Cause there's just one thing Well there's just one thing
They'll only be a half of me, yeah
* Hands off jealous lover Please let me be Your eyes full of envy And you're emerald green
Hands off jealous lover Your words harsh and mean
You pray like a mantis You're feeding off me
Let it go, let it go, let it go, now Let it go, let it go, let it go, now Come on
(Let it go, let it go, let it go) Hand off me
(Let it go, let it go, let it go) You got to let me go baby
Let it go, let it go, let it go Let it go, let it go, let it go Come on, come on baby
Hands off jealous lover Please let me be And you pray like a mantis You're emerald green
Hands off jealous lover The joke's right on me
The pearls 'round your neck They don't make you a queen
