Jealousy
Dave Stewart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, I've had a lot of money
I had a good paying job
But all I want is for her to be happy
To do something she can be proud of

But all I want
That's all I need
All I want is for her to keep loving me
And that eternal flame will remain
We will sustain

And that jealousy ain't no part of me
Jealousy ain't no part of me
Jealousy ain't no part of me
Jealousy
(So she can keep loving me)

Walking around with a chip on my back
(This man don't care)
I don't care, rat a tat tat

All I want is just a little of your love
I want to give you something, baby
You could be real proud of

All I want, that's all I need
(All I, yes all I)
All I want, that's all I need
(All I need)
For you to keep loving me
(Oh yeah)

[Incomprehensible]

Give you good loving, make you proud of me
Give you good loving, make you proud of me
(Right now)
Give you good loving, make you proud of me
Give you good loving, make you proud of me
(Give me good loving, make you proud of me)
Give you good loving, make you proud of me

(All I want and all I need is you to keep on loving me)
Just keep on loving me, yeah

Like the water to the sea
Let it flow, just let it be
Like the wind, when it blows
You can't see it but somehow you know it's cold

(All I need)
All I need is for you to keep loving me
And that eternal flame will remain
We will sus-sustain

Jealousy ain't no part of me
Jealousy ain't no part of me
(Jealousy, no part of me)
Jealousy ain't no part of me
(Jealousy, no part of me)
Jealousy
(Then you can keep loving me)

Jealousy
(All I want)
Jealousy
(And all I need, yeah)
Jealousy
(All I want)
Jealousy
(You keep loving me)

[Incomprehensible]

You keep loving me
(That's all I want)
Jealousy
(I need)
Jealousy
(I want)
Jealousy
(I need)





That's all I need to keep loving me

Overall Meaning

In Dave Stewart's song "Jealousy," he discusses his desire for his partner to be happy and content with their life, even if it means he does not have a lot of money or a high-paying job. Despite seeming tough and indifferent, he cares deeply for his partner and only wants to provide her with love and support so that they can sustain a healthy and fulfilling relationship. He also emphasizes that jealousy has no place in his love for her and that it is important to focus on the positives and the love they share to keep their relationship strong.


This song is a powerful message about the importance of love, support, and trust in a relationship. It highlights the fact that material possessions and job positions are not as important as giving and receiving love, and that jealousy can tear apart even the most loving relationships. As such, "Jealousy" serves as both a love song and a warning against allowing negative feelings to cloud one's love and appreciation for their partner.
