Letra de Jealousy

[Verse 1:]
I can't tell you why
These things continue to happen to me
But some people get so jealous
Of the smallest of all things
I tried to help some friends
To help themselves
To get their lives intact
They came out spreading rumors
Now I have to come out spreading facts
Let me tell how this started
And where it all began
I guess I was a fool to try and help
My broken social friends
They told me if I'd help them
They'd be in debt for life
But when I turned my back to get support
They stabbed me with a knife
[Chorus:]
I don't need jealousy, no
I don't want the bad talk around me
I don't need jealousy, no
I don't want the bad talk around me
[Verse 2:]
You came out spreading rumors
Because you were so jealous
You didn't understand that
We were on your side
Tell me why not, fellas
You let some people guide you
In the wrong direction
From the truth, you cannot hide
So don't go look for no protection
I didn't understand it then
And you know
I just can't now
You know I tried to help you out
And now it's me
You're trying to clown
But let me tell you, partner
You won't come out ahead
All this jealousy will do is
Make you lose it all instead
[Chorus:]
I don't need jealousy
I don't want the bad talk around me
I don't need jealousy
I don't want the bad talk around me
[Verse 3:]
Jealous thoughts cause trouble
Yapping all the time
You know they're listening for rumors
So that they can drop a dime
They run from place to place
Just telling half the story
Because they're always
Trying to down someone
And take their fame and glory
If it hasn't happened to you
Just give yourself some time
I think you know the symptoms
When a jealous person drops a line
I think I'll write a letter
That sums it up the best
I'll have to write it
In big letters with my business
Please don't mess, oh, no
[Repeat Chorus:]
[Bridge:]
I don't need, you don't need
We don't need no jealousy
I don't need, you don't need
We don't need no jealousy
I don't need, you don't need
We don't need no jealousy
I don't need, you don't need
We don't need no jealousy
[Repeat Chorus:]
