Jealous Type
The Reytons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw you slippin' out the other side
I swear that I didn't know
You were out tonight
I don't get why you have to hide?
You're childish at times
Why can't we just be civilized?
Who the fuck are you talkin' to?
Why the Hell is he stood there?
Why'd you have to go sneakin' off?
Why'd you think that I care?

I don't give a shit about what you're doing
I came out without you and
Now my night's ruined, because

You tell me you need me
But I don't believe it
From the way you act tonight
You tell me you need me
But I don't believe it
Are you having a good time?

It's eight minutes since you've been online
It's unread
But I know that you read and swiped
I don't get why you have to lie
I'm sick of the games
Why can't you ever compromise?
Told me that you're not talking to him
Then why the Hell is he still there?
Said that you were just going home
I swear to God, if he's there

I don't give a shit about what you're doing
I came out without you and
Now my night's ruined, because

You tell me you need me
But I don't believe it
From the way you act tonight
You tell me you need me
But I don't believe it
Are you having a good time?
While I'm sat here again 'til it's 4am
I can't get you off my mind
So tell me you need me
'cause I don't believe it
I'm not the jealous type

Who the fuck are you talkin' to?
Why the Hell is he stood there?
Why'd you have to go sneakin' off?
Why'd you think that I care?

I don't give a shit about what you're doing
I came out without you and
Now my night's ruined, because

You tell me you need me
But I don't believe it
From the way you act tonight
You tell me you need me
But I don't believe it
Are you having a good time?
While I'm sat here again 'til it's 4am
I can't get you off my mind
So tell me you need me
'cause I don't believe it
I'm not the jealous type




I'm not the jealous type
I'm not the jealous type
