I'm Jealous
Divinyls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't stand the thought of her having a piece of you
What she got that I don't what's he do that I won't
You must be blind take a good look at her
She's not your kind
I don't' know what I'd do if I saw her with you
I come around and see you cause I want to remind you
But what if she's there how would I find you
You've got a new baby but I want you back again
I'm liable to do anything I might kick her face in
What she got that I don't what's she do that I won't
You must be blind take a good look at her
She's not your kind I don't know what I'd do
If I saw her with you
And it hurts, and it hurts right here
in my heart is a bloody tear
I thought that you were so sincere you got what you wanted
And you got out of here - you got a new girlfriend
You got a new girlfriend but I still love you
I can't stand the thought of her having a piece of you
I'm jealous, I'm jealous I'm jealous out of my mind
I'm jealous, I'm jealous I'm jealous out of my mind
The Divinyls' song "I'm Jealous" is about a woman who is still in love with her ex-boyfriend despite the fact that he has moved on and started dating someone else. The lyrics are full of insecurity and envy as the singer grapples with the thought of her ex being with another woman.
The first verse expresses the singer's disbelief that her ex-boyfriend could even be interested in someone else. She wonders what the new girlfriend has that she doesn't and what she might be doing differently. The singer also acknowledges her own potential for irrational behavior, even admitting that she might "kick her face in" if she were to see them together.
The second verse is more introspective as the singer considers how she can still have a relationship with her ex despite the presence of the new girlfriend. She worries that her attempts to reconnect could be thwarted by the new girlfriend's presence and that she might not even be able to find her ex at all. The verse also speaks to the desperation the singer feels, saying that she might do anything to win her ex back.
At its core, "I'm Jealous" is a song about the difficult process of moving on from a past relationship. The lyrics show how difficult it can be to watch someone you once loved move on and be happy with someone else. The song is a relatable portrayal of the feelings of jealousy, heartache, and insecurity that can come along with that process.

I thought that you were so sincere you got what you wanted
I believed you were genuine in your feelings, but now you've moved on
And you got out of here - you got a new girlfriend
You left me and found a new partner elsewhere
I'm jealous, I'm jealous I'm jealous out of my mind
My jealousy of your new girlfriend is overwhelming me mentally and emotionally
I'm jealous, I'm jealous I'm jealous out of my mind
My jealousy of your new girlfriend is consuming me and making me irrational

I can't remember what YouTube vid or whatever it was but someone said in a world that was dominated by male frontmen she not only stood but went toe to toe with the best of them. She is a forever legend. This is my favourite song because it is so brilliantly written and heartfelt and as fucking always she delivers an above perfect performance. R.I.P. beautiful rock goddess!! <3

@dropbearattack
The honesty and vulnerability that Chrissy displays here is moving beyond words.
The simplicity of the lyrics is obvious,but the vocal performance creates a story that moves forward like a well crafted film script.
