A Jealous Thing Called Love

Once full moon I like to wander

Where the seagulls go at night

Take the D-train right to Brooklyn

Far away from the city lights.

Down the boardwalk-along the river

Where the thin men fish with worms

Past the phone booth where you called me

And the motel where you took her...

I'd have given her anything

Anything she asked

My little heart was a-trembling,

I must have been on Mars

The sugar walls came a-tumbling down

What was I thinking of?

When I fell for a pretty thing

A jealous thing called love,

It was a jealous thing called love.

I still toast you on your birthday

Raise a glass to my favorite year

When you told me her eyes were roving

And you warned me I might lose her

I remember the conversation

And the dim sum that we shared

I will be here if you call me

Just don't call me if you're with her.

I'd have given her anything

Anything she asked

My little heart was a-trembling,

I must have been on Mars

The sugar walls came a-tumbling down

What was I thinking of?

When I fell for a pretty thing

A jealous thing called love,

It was a jealous thing called love.
