Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I know she's been such a good friend
I know she has helped you through
Talkin' late on the phone
Every night you've been callin'
Private moments alone
And your heart soon be fallin'
But I can't shake the feeling
That I could be losing your heart
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
Although she's just a girl that is your friend
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
She shares a special part of you
You said that she's one well to see
How deep you're in love with me
And intentions were not to get in between
But I see possibilities
And you say that you feel
I'm the best thing in your life
And I know it's real, I see it in your eyes
There's no reason for me to even feel this way
I know you just enjoy her company
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
Although she's just a girl that is your friend
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
She shares a special part of you
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
Although she's just a girl that is your friend
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
She shares a special part of you
So you're jealous, but you can't tell me why
So you're jealous, but you can't tell me why
So you're jealous, but you can't tell me why
So you're jealous, but you can't tell me why
So you're jealous, but you can't tell me why
So you're jealous, but you can't tell me why
So you're jealous, but you can't tell me why, oh oh
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
Although she's just a girl that is your friend
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
She shares a special part of you

The lyrics reveal late-night phone calls and intimate conversations, and the singer becomes convinced that she may be losing her partner's heart to this friend.
