Lyrics[]
Jealousy
You constantly hurt me
I sometimes wonder
If this spell that I'm under
Can only be a melody
For I know no one but me
Has won your heart
But when the music starts
My peace departs
From the moment they play
That languorous strain
And we surrender
To all its charm once again
This jealousy
That tortures me
Is ecstasy
Mysterious pain
We dance to a tango of love
Your heart beats with mine as we sway
Your eyes give the answer I’m dreaming of
That soft word your cruel lips
Will never say
I fear that the music will end
And shatter the spell it may lend
To make me believe
When your eyes just deceive
And it's only the tango you love
To make me believe
When your eyes just deceive
And it's only the tango you love
