Jealous
Nick Jonas Tinashe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nick J, Tinashe
It's the remix

I don't like the way he's looking at you
I'm starting to think you want him too
Am I crazy? Have I lost ya
Even though I know you love me, can't help it
I turn my cheek, music up
And I'm puffing my chest
I'm getting ready to face you
Can call me obsessed
It's not your fault that they hover
I mean no disrespect
It's my right to be hellish
I still get jealous

'Cause you're too sexy beautiful
And everybody want to taste, that's why (that's why)
I still get jealous
'Cause you're too sexy beautiful
And everybody want to taste, that's why (that's why)
I still get jealous

Listen, I'm the type to never sweat no chick
Ain't nobody but you got me stressin' this way and you know
Yeah, yeah
Now the struggle's always real
Girls be stepping in my space
All up in your face, how am I supposed to feel?

I turn my chin, music up
And I'm puffing my chest
I'm getting ready to face you
Can call me obsessed
It's not your fault that they hover
I mean no disrespect
It's my right to be hellish
I still get jealous

'Cause you're too sexy beautiful
And everybody want to taste, that's why (that's why)
I still get jealous
'Cause you're too sexy beautiful
And everybody wants to taste, that's why (that's why)
I still get jealous

You're the only one invited
I said there's no one else for you
'Cause you know I get excited (yeah)
When you get jealous too

I turn my chin, music up
And I'm puffing my chest
I'm turning ready to face you
Can call me obsessed
It's not your fault that they hover
I mean no disrespect
It's my right to be hellish
I still get jealous

'Cause you're too sexy beautiful
And everybody want to taste, that's why (that's why)
I still get jealous
'Cause you're too sexy beautiful
And everybody wants to taste, that's why (that's why)
I still get jealous

Hey! (oh)
(That's why), (that's why)
I still get jealous
Jealous baby, jealous baby, baby! (Oh)




That's why (Nick J, Tinashe)
I still get jealous (jealous, jealous, jealous)

Overall Meaning

Jealous by Nick Jonas featuring Tinashe is a song about the jealousy that arises in a romantic relationship. Jonas expresses his concern that his partner is being desired by other people and that he is afraid of losing her to someone else. The lyrics reveal a level of insecurity in Jonas, which is reflected in the chorus when he says, "‘Cause you're too sexy beautiful, and everybody wants to taste, that's why I still get jealous." The song suggests that even when someone is in love and feels secure in their relationship, they can still experience jealousy when they perceive a threat.


The song's verses describe the physical and emotional reactions that Jonas has when he feels jealous. He admits that he is obsessed with his partner and that he struggles to control his emotions when he sees other people showing interest in her. However, towards the end of the song, Tinashe's verse reinforces the idea that jealousy can be a two-way street in a healthy relationship, “You're the only one invited, I said there's no one else for you cause you know I get excited, yeah when you get jealous too.” Thus, owning the feeling of jealousy can actually express love and trust in a relationship.
