Jealous
Nolan Sotillo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 chin music up
And I'm puffing my chest
I'm getting ready to face you
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 wants a taste
That's why (that's why)
I still get jealous
'Cause you're too sexy, beautiful
And everybody wants a taste
That's why (that's why)
I still get jealous
I wish you didn't have to post it all
I wish you'd save a little bit just for me
Protective or possessive, yeah
Call it passive or aggressive
I turn my cheek music up
And I'm puffing my chest
I'm getting ready to face you
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 wants a taste
That's why (that's why)
I still get jealous
'Cause you're too sexy, beautiful
And everybody wants a 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 cheek music up
And I'm puffing my chest
I'm turning ready to face you
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 wants a taste
That's why (that's why)
I still get jealous
'Cause you're too sexy, beautiful
And everybody wants a taste
That's why (that's why)
I still get jealous
Oh (that's why)
I still get jealous
Oh (that's why)
I still get jealous
The song "Jealous" by Nolan Sotillo is about the feelings of insecurity and jealousy that arise when the person you love is too attractive and desirable to others. The lyrics describe the singer's internal struggle with jealousy, even though he knows the person he loves is faithful to him. He is aware that he may be overreacting, but he can't help feeling possessive and protective. The lines "It's not your fault that they hover/I mean no disrespect/It's my right to be hellish/I still get jealous" indicate that the singer understands that the attention his lover receives from others is not her fault, but he cannot help how he feels.
The chorus of the song reinforces the theme of jealousy and the idea that the singer's lover is too desirable to others. The repetition of the line "Cause you're too sexy, beautiful/And everybody wants a taste/That's why (that's why)/I still get jealous" emphasizes this feeling of insecurity that the singer has. The bridge of the song presents a twist, where the singer realizes that his lover may also feel jealous and possessive, just as he does. He expresses excitement at this prospect, suggesting that it may bring them closer together.
Overall, the song "Jealous" is a relatable representation of the insecurities that arise in any relationship. The lyrics speak to the fear of losing someone you love to another person's charms, and the possessive feelings that can arise as a result.
