Verse:

Oh! sweet -heart, sweet -heart, 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 full of lit -tle jeal -ous -ies.

I've tried and tried to hide it all from you,

But real -ly, dear, it's more than I can do.

 

Chorus:

Jeal -ous of the moon that shines a -bove,

Be -cause it smiles up -on the one I love,

I'm jeal -ous of the bird -ies in the trees,

They're al -ways sing -ing sweet -est mel -o -dies.

I'm jeal -ous of the pret -ty flow -ers too,

I miss the kiss they al -ways get from you.

I'm jeal -ous of the "tick -tock" on the shelf,

I'm ev -en get -ting jeal -ous of my -self.
