Baby I'm Jealous
Bebe Rexha Doja Cat Lyrics

Baby, I'm jealous
The singer is experiencing feelings of jealousy and is addressing the person causing those feelings.

Jealous, jealous, jealous, jealous, jealous, jealous
Repeating 'jealous' emphasizes the strength and intensity of the singer's jealousy.

Went from beautiful to ugly
The singer's self-esteem has taken a hit due to insecurity and jealousy.

'Cause insecurity told me you don't love me
The artist's insecurities and self-doubt have convinced them that the other person doesn't love them.

All it takes is a girl above me
Seeing another girl on the person's social media feed or in real life can cause the artist to feel inferior and jealous.

On your timeline to make me nothing
Comparing oneself to others on the person's social media timeline can make the singer feel worthless and insignificant.

This is me
The singer identifies herself as someone who experiences conflicting emotions and thoughts.

A woman in dichotomy
The artist feels like two different people at times, with opposite beliefs or desires.

I love me
The artist acknowledges that she loves herself at times when she is not experiencing jealousy or self-doubt.

Until I don't
However, the artist's self-love can change quickly when triggered by jealousy or insecurity.

Baby, I'm jealous
The singer repeats the chorus to emphasize her jealousy and the effect it has on her.

Of the pictures that you like
Specifically, the artist is jealous of the other girls that the person likes or is attracted to.

Of the girls with lighter eyes
The singer is jealous of the other girls' appearance and the fact that they have something the singer doesn't.

And I know that it ain't right
The singer understands that her jealousy is not justified and can be harmful to herself and others.

But I'm jealous, jealous
However, despite knowing it's not right, the singer's jealousy is still very strong and present.

The jealous kind
The artist identifies herself as someone who experiences jealousy often and intensely.

I'm jelly, jelly, jelly, jelly, jelly on a plate
The artist uses a metaphor to express how her jealousy makes her feel like a quivering, wobbly plate of jelly.

Sunnyside up, I got egg on my face

Waste trainer for a tinier waist

My apologies

For looking on your history
The artist apologizes for checking the other person's social media activity, which shows her distrust and possessiveness.

I'm trying to let it go

That chick can't be that chick
The artist is confident that the other girls the person likes or is interested in are not good enough for him or are fake.

Baby, I'm a bad bitch
The singer asserts her confidence, strength, and worthiness as a partner compared to other girls.

If he fiendin' he'll prolly get a catfish
The singer suggests that if the person is looking for something specific or shallow, he might get tricked or fooled by another girl pretending to be what he wants.

Keep him dreamin' to pull up on a nap, shit
The singer hints that she can fulfill the person's desires and fantasies more effectively than the other girls.

I don't even be askin' him, "Who dat chick?"
The artist claims that she doesn't interrogate the person about other girls he talks to or likes because she trusts him and doesn't want to appear jealous.

Uh-huh, who dat chick? Nah
The artist repeats her previous statement with emphasis, indicating that she is not concerned with other girls catching the person's attention.

That's pitiful, that's so average, why?
The singer criticizes other girls who try to impress the person with lies or manipulation, considering them lame and unoriginal.

Some women want men and some girls want wives
The singer recognizes that some girls are not interested in having a relationship with the person, but rather want to be his friend or support system.

Tell lies until they buggin' and their pants on fire, uh
The artist implies that other girls who lie or deceive the person will end up regretting their actions because their lies will be exposed or they will feel guilty.

I stole your man
The artist boasts that she has won the person's affection or love, making her a superior partner compared to other girls.
