The Green Eyes of Jealousy (Diamond into Sand)

I've been trying to get through to you
But you won't change your mind
How can I prove to you
I'm not the cheatin' kind
Won't you think twice my love
Before you throw it all away
Maybe pride is the price for love
But I won't beg you to stay

The green eyes of jealousy
Are gonna make us blue
They only see what they want to see
Look what they've done to you
Sometimes love just slips right through your hands
Don't turn this diamond into sand

I gave all of my best to you
When you lost your will to live
Your emotional rescue
Took all I had to give
So how could you think that I would
Cheat behind your back
In your heart don't you know that I could
Never hurt you like that

The green eyes of jealousy
Are gonna make us blue
They only see what they want to see
Look what they've done to you
Sometimes love just slips right through your hands
Don't turn this diamond into sand

I don't know why
All the trust we had is gone
But I refuse to stand accused
'Cause I've done nothing wrong

The green eyes of jealousy
Are gonna make us blue
They only see what they want to see
Look what they've done to you
Sometimes love just slips right through your hands
Don't turn this diamond into sand
