I'm Jealous

Shania Twain · Up! [2002]

If I were the moon, I could

catch your eye--I'm jealous of the moon

If I were the wind, I would

make you fly--I'm jealous of that too



I wish I were the sun shining

on your face--caressing like a lover

I would wrap you in a warm embrace--

we'd be holdin' one another

(I'm jealous of the sun)

I'm jealous of the sun

(Jealous of the sun) Oh,

I'm jealous of the sun



Oh, I don't wanna share you with

nothing else--I gotta have you to myself

Oh--I can't help it--I'm so in love--

I just can't get you close enough, no



Chorus:

When the sun's on your skin--

I can't hold it in

And I know it's a sin--

but I'm jealous of the sun



I wish I were the rain runnin' down your

neck--and drippin' from your fingers

Then I could be the drops rollin' off your

back--I'd love to let it linger

(Jealous of the rain) Oh,

I'm jealous of the rain



Oh, I don't wanna share you with nothing

else--I gotta have you to myself

Oh--I can't help it--I'm so in love--

I just can't get you close enough, no



Chorus:

When it rains on your face--

I almost can taste

Your beauty, your grace--

I'm jealous of the rain



Instrumental Solo



Chorus:

When the wind's in your hair--

the way it blows through the air

Oh, it's seems so unfair, yeah



Chorus:

When the moon's in your eyes--

you seem to light up the skies, yeah

And I realize--

I'm even jealous of the moon

I'm Jealous
