Lyrics
1. Oh, sweetheart, sweetheart I’ve tried my best
To let you do just as you please
But my heart, poor heart won’t stand the test
I find it’s full of little jealousies
I’ve tried and tried to hide it all from you
But really, dear, it’s more than I can do
Chorus
I’m jealous of the moon that shines above
Because it smiles upon the one I love
I’m always singing sweetest melodies
I’m jealous of the pretty flowers, too
I miss the kiss they always get from you
I’m jealous of the “tick-tock” on the shelf
I’m even getting jealous of myself
2. Each day, dear, I fear I’m losing you
that soon you’ll leave me all alone
If you go, you know, that I’ll be blue
Just longing for the one I all my own
I hardly know just where to place the blame
But here are quite a few things I could name
