[Verse 1]
I met her, we fell in love, and we parted
Same old story, 'bout a million times can tell
'Cause she turned out to be jealous-hearted
And life for me and her became a living hell
[Chorus]
Oh, Lord, I'm standin' at the doorsteps to heaven
'Cause she's askin' me to try it once again
One step would take me to the arms of my sweet angel
But the door of jealousy won't let me in
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Oh, yes, I tried
Lord knows I tried to make her happy
But the eyes of jealous love are always blind
And I knew if I hung around much longer
That one or both of us was sure to lose our mind
[Chorus]
Oh, Lord, I'm standin' at the doorsteps to heaven
'Cause she's askin' me to try it once again
One step would take me to the arms of my sweet angel
But the door of jealousy won't let me in
