I cried for two hours
Over your box of shortbread cookies
The one that contained the letters
The photos from New Hampshire
Your romantic trip
With Adèle from Bayeux
I find her name ridiculous
It sounds like a brand of sweater
She wants to meet me
Have us over for lunch
She's sure she's going to love me
And she insisted so much

Yes, but I'm jealous
Yes, that's it, simply jealous
I'm jealous

I eat alone at the Chinese restaurant
It's convenient, it's just downstairs
I let you go there alone
Now I'm kicking myself
You told me: "it's such a shame
She cooks so well"
I would gladly make her my soup
With nitroglycerin
Bile and glutamates
Are squabbling in my spleen
I tell myself this every time
I won't eat Chinese anymore

Yes, I'm jealous
Yes, that's it, simply jealous
I'm jealous

Your Adèle wants to see you again
She's free mostly in the evening
To talk to you from time to time
Let's smile, let's grit our teeth
It's true, it's quite normal
I don't see any inconvenience
I'm not going to make a scene
For you two it's important
But it's the art of my jealousy
Not knowing how to tell you
Yes, it feels a bit strange
That you want to see each other again

And yes, I'm jealous
Yes, that's it, simply jealous
I'm jealous
