Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She just can't wait to party
She'll make it look so easy
Why won't you listen to me
Yeah
Jealousy-some girls have it rough oh baby
Loyalty-why is that so tough, the trust is gone
[Chorus]
Jealous don't you know your girl is jealous
She can't help but be suspicious
Can't you see, that girl is jealous
So better make it right
Cruelty-it's easy for him to be
Fallacy-you're out on a limb for him
Conspiracy Anxiety she just can't wait to party
Strategy totally she'll make it look so easy
Loyalty disagree why won't you listen to me
Fantasy Novelty she will be free
[Chorus]

Jealous-she doesn't trust you much

Don't trust you much make sure she's alright
