Lyrics:
I'm jealous of the moon that shines above
(You're in love and you know it)
Because it smiles upon the one I love
(Even your eyes plainly show it)
I'm jealous of the birdies in the trees
(Jealous of each little thing passing by)
How they always sing the sweetest melodies
(I often wonder why you're jealous)

Jealous of the pretty flowers too
(Who do they remind you of?)
And I miss the kiss they always get from you
(Maybe you're in love)
I'm jealous of the "tick-tock" on the shelf
(I'm wondering why)
Oh baby, I'm so mean
I'm getting jealous of myself

Jealous of the pretty flowers too
(Who do they remind you of?)
And I miss the kiss they always get from you
(Maybe you're in love)
I'm jealous of the "tick-tock" on the shelf
(I'm wondering why)
Oh baby, I'm so mean
I'm getting jealous of myself
