 Struggling with Jealousy? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

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 you 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 help them, they'd be in debt for life,
But when I turned my back to get support,
They stabbed me with a knife.

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.

You came out spreading rumors because you were so jealous.
You didn't understand that we were on our 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 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.
Oh no.

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.

Jealous thoughts cause trouble yapping all the time.
You know they're listening for rumors so 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.

I don't need jealousy.  (No.)
(I don't want the bad talk around me.)
I don't need no jealousy, yeah.
I don't need jealousy.  (No.)
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.
(I don't want the bad talk around me.)

(Instrumental break)

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.

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.
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.
