Someday We’ll All Be Free

1971

[Verse 1]
\nI was dreaming of the past
\nAnd my heart was beating fast
\nI began to lose control
\nI began to lose control
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nI didn't mean to hurt you
\nAnd I'm sorry I made you cry
\nI didn't want to hurt you, no, I didn't
\nI'm just a jealous guy
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nI was feeling insecure
\nYou might not want me anymore
\nI was shivering inside
\nI was shivering inside
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nI didn't mean to hurt you
\nAnd I'm sorry I made you cry
\nI didn't want to hurt you, no, I didn't
\nI'm just a jealous guy
\n
\n[Outro]
\nI'm just a jealous guy
\nI'm just a jealous guy, yes, I am
\nI'm just a jealous guy, yeah
\nI don't want nobody looking at you
\n'Cause I'm a jealous kind of fella
\nI, I, I, I, I, I, I, oh, oh
\n(I'm just a jealous guy, ooh, ooh)
\nThank you; thank you very much\n\n
