My baby got jealous
When I was on the phone with you
Of course, she wanted to know
Who I was talking to?
My reply was, why?
See even if you knew
The name wouldn’t ring a bell
You still wouldn’t have a clue

As soon as I hung up
She gave me the third degree
And what she wanted to know
Is who are you to me?
I danced around the question
How could I tell her?  see
I made her chalk it up
To just another mystery

Though you and I moved on
We can’t erase the past
And even though it’s gone
Some memories tend to last
We shared a lot together
A long-ago time back then
When we began to reminisce
I didn’t know when to end

After we hung up
It was plain enough for me to see
I couldn’t help but detect
A hint of jealousy
Why I’ll never know
When I think of what she means to me
Because everything we shared
Is a part of what used to be
