Jealous Guy
Elizabeth Gillies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no
I'm just a jealous guy
I was feeling insecure
You might not love me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside
Oh, I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no
I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no
I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
I was trying to catch your eyes
Thought that you was trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
I was swallowing my pain
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no
I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy, watch out
I'm just a jealous guy, look out, babe
I'm just a jealous guy

The chorus of the song emphasizes her regret and her desire to make amends: "I didn't mean to hurt you, I'm sorry that I made you cry. Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you, I'm just a jealous guy."
The second verse further emphasizes Gillies's feelings of insecurity and fear that her partner might not love her anymore. The lines "I was trying to catch your eyes, thought that you was trying to hide" suggest that she was overanalyzing her partner's behaviors and misinterpreting them as signs of disinterest or deceit.
