I met her we fell in love and we parted The same old story that a million tongues can tell Cause she turned out to be jealous hearted And life for me and for her became a living hell Oh Lord I'm standing at the doorsteps to heaven Cause she's asking me to try it once again One step would take me to the arms of my sweet darling But the door of jealousy won't let me in Oh yes I tried Lord knows I tried to make her happy But the eyes of jealous love are always blind And I knew if I hung around much longer That one or both of us was sure to lose our mind Oh Lord I'm standing at the doorsteps to heaven Cause she's asking me to try it once again One step would take me to the arms of my sweet angel But the door of jealousy won't let me in
