[Verse 1]
You can have my money, baby, everything I own
But for God sakes leave my man alone

[Chorus]
'cause I'm jealous, jealous
Jealous hearted me
Lord I'm just jealous
Jealous as I can be

[Verse 2]
It takes a rocking chair to rock, a rubber ball to roll
Takes a man I love to satisfy my soul

[Chorus]
Yes I'm jealous, jealous
Jealous hearted me
Lord I'm just jealous
Jealous as I can be

[Verse 3]
Got a range in my kitchen, cooks nice and brown
All I need is my man, to turn my damper down

[Chorus]
Because I'm jealous, jealous
Jealous hearted me
Lord I'm just jealous
Jealous as I can be
