Lyrics

  1. I’m sighing, yes, sighing
    All day long, all day long
    I’m trying, yes, trying
    To find out just what’s wrong
    You treat me so unkind
    But just bear this in mind

Chorus
I’m not jealous, no, not jealous
But you are driving me wild
I can’t seem to realize how you can flirt
When every time you do
You know my heart is hurt
I have told you, but, when I scold you
You’ve got some good excuse that makes me fall
On the street you smile at fellows by the dozens
And try to make me think
That they are all your cousins
I’m not jealous, no, not jealous
But, I just don’t like it, that’s all

  1. I’m lonely, so lonely
    All the time, all the time
    You only, you only
    Can cheer this heart of mine
    I trust you anywhere
    Providing I’m there

Chorus
I’m not jealous, no, not jealous
But you are driving me wild
I can’t seem to realize how you can flirt
When every time you do
You know my heart is hurt
I have told you, but, when I scold you
You’ve got some good excuse that makes me fall
If it’s true each one of them is your relation
Then with your family
You could start a new born nation
I’m not jealous, no, not jealous
But, I just don’t like it, that’s all
