The Jealous Kind

I see you're out in town again, just doe-eyed and free
With the same come-and-get-me grin you used to flash at me
I see you're buyin' your own drinks now, like you used to do
But you'll dance with any hayseed hick who flashes eyes at you
The band's playin' all the right stuff, and you tap your foot along
But you don't leave the dance floor when they play our old song
Guess I oughta quit starin' in the mirror above the bar
Who am I to get upset? Hell, it's just the way you are

Don't you worry about me honey, I'll probably be just fine
Wouldn't want to waste your precious time
Go ahead if it helps you sleep and if it gives you peace of mind
Tell yourself that I'm not the jealous kind

Hey hey, bartender; give me somethin' more than beer
Besides a strung-out girl in high-heel boots, what's the cheapest thing in here?
I'm a little too sober for this kind of talk
So keep that Kentucky comin' until I can't hardly walk
I guess it's good that it's a small town, come to think of it
Where if you get fucked up on a Tuesday night, you're just goin' through some shit

Don't you worry about me honey, I'll probably be just fine
Wouldn't want to waste your precious time
Go ahead if it helps you sleep and if it gives you peace of mind
Tell yourself that I'm not the jealous kind

Who the hell's she leavin' with, is he from out of town?
She had her run of the rodeo, now she's leavin' with the clown

Don't you worry about me honey, I'll probably be just fine
Wouldn't want to waste your precious time
Go ahead if it helps you sleep and if it gives you peace of mind
Tell yourself that I'm not the jealous kind
Tell yourself that I'm not the jealous kind
