Girlfriend
Keys Alicia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I know she's been such a good friend
I know she has helped you through
Talkin' late on the phone
Every night you've been callin'
Private moments alone
And your heart soon be fallin'
But I can't shake the feeling
That I could be losing your heart
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
Although she's just a girl that is your friend
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
She shares a special part of you
You said that she's one well to see
How deep you're in love with me
And intentions were not to get in between
But I see possibilities
And you say that you feel
I'm the best thing in your life
And I know it's real, I see it in your eyes
There's no reason for me to even feel this way
I know you just enjoy her company
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
Although she's just a girl that is your friend
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
She shares a special part of you
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
Although she's just a girl that is your friend
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
She shares a special part of you
So you're jealous, but you can't tell me why
So you're jealous, but you can't tell me why
So you're jealous, but you can't tell me why
So you're jealous, but you can't tell me why
So you're jealous, but you can't tell me why
So you're jealous, but you can't tell me why
So you're jealous, but you can't tell me why, oh oh
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
Although she's just a girl that is your friend
I think I'm jealous of your girlfriend
She shares a special part of you
The song "Girlfriend" by Alicia Keys talks about a feeling of jealousy that one may feel towards their partner's close friend. The singer acknowledges that the friend, who happens to be a girl, has been a good friend to the partner but can't shake the feeling that she might be losing the partner's heart. The singer thinks that despite the friend being just a girl who is the partner's friend, she still shares a special part of the partner. The singer expresses her doubts and insecurities through the lyrics, especially since the partner seems to have become emotionally attached to the friend.
The lyrics suggest that the friend and the partner have private moments every night, which makes the singer think that the partner is falling for her. The singer is aware of the possibility that the friend may not have any intention of getting in between them. Still, the fact that the friend shares a special part of the partner's life makes her feel jealous. The song doesn't bring any conclusion about the partner's feelings, but it portrays the singer's jealousy and insecurity, even though she acknowledges that the partner thinks she's the best thing in his life.

You said that she's one well to see

But I see possibilities
But I can't help but worry about what could happen
And you say that you feel

I'm the best thing in your life
I'm the most important thing to you

So you're jealous, but you can't tell me why, oh oh
You're feeling jealous, and you're struggling to explain it to me

A. Keys' first 2 albums were masterful to me. The collaboration of classical music and street/soul music was so unique
