Jealous Lover
Trace Cyrus Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Too many private eyes
Have been watching you
Another layer to look from
Too many crooks in the room

Tell me how I could say
And watch them steal you away
And let so many busy hands

Fix you to the tune

Maybe I should stand by
Watch you laugh
Let it go now
Come by your house

But every little second
Is like a lifetime
Gotta let you know now
You are mine

So take a little cue from a jealous lover
What's not yours is mine
So go take a hit from a jealous lover
There's no compromise

I'm playin' to win, playin' to win
Can you see by look in my eyes?
So go and take a hit from a jealous lover
What was yours is now mine

You're my favorite diamond in the rough I've find so new
They're already close behind
So many snake eyes on you
So watch out for their eyes
They're after you tonight
You know I'm going to break them down
I will drain the poison out

Maybe I should stand by
Watch you laugh
Let it go now
Come by your house

But every little second
Is like a lifetime
Gotta let you know now
You are mine

So take a little cue from a jealous lover
What's not yours is mine
So go take a hit from a jealous lover
There's no compromise

I'm playin' to win, playin' to win
Can you see by look in my eyes?
So go and take a hit from a jealous lover
What was yours is now mine
Is now mine
Is now mine

So take a little cue from a jealous lover
what's not yours is mine
So go take hit from a jealous lover
There's no compromise

I'm playin' to win, playin' to win
Can you see by look in my eyes?
So go and take a hit from a jealous lover
What was yours is now mine

Is now mine
Is now mine

Overall Meaning

The song "Jealous Lover" by Trace Cyrus speaks of a partner who is very possessive and jealous of their love interest. The lyrics suggest that there are too many people watching and trying to steal away what is rightfully theirs, and that they need to make it clear to everyone that this person is theirs and theirs alone. The verses iterate on this, mentioning the private eyes and crooks in the room, and how the singer needs to let their significant other know that they are theirs.

The chorus repeats the phrase "so take a little cue from a jealous lover, what's not yours is mine," emphasizing the possessive nature of the relationship. It then adds "there's no compromise," suggesting that the singer will not tolerate any opposition or challenge to their claim on their love interest. The bridge reinforces this, with the singer stating that they are "playing to win" and that their partner should be able to see this in their eyes, and that what was once their love interest's is now theirs.

Overall, the song paints a picture of a relationship that is quite unhealthy, with one partner excessively jealous and possessive of the other. While some may argue that a little bit of jealousy is healthy in a relationship, the extent to which the singer goes to assert their claim on their love interest is concerning.

Line by Line Meaning

Too many private eyes
There are too many people spying on you

Have been watching you
They have been monitoring your every move

Another layer to look from
There is always another angle from which you can be seen

Too many crooks in the room
There are too many suspicious characters present

Tell me how I could say
Please tell me what I can do

And watch them steal you away
And see them take you from me

And let so many busy hands
And allow so many people to take control

Fix you to the tune
To manipulate you to their advantage

Maybe I should stand by
Perhaps I should just watch

Watch you laugh
Observe you enjoying yourself

Let it go now
Just forget about it

Come by your house
Visit you at home

But every little second
Every moment

Is like a lifetime
Feels like an eternity

Gotta let you know now
I need to tell you right away

You are mine
You belong to me

So take a little cue from a jealous lover
Listen to what a jealous lover has to say

What's not yours is mine
What belongs to you, belongs to me

So go take a hit from a jealous lover
So go ahead and test my patience

There's no compromise
There will be no negotiation

I'm playin' to win, playin' to win
I am being very competitive

Can you see by look in my eyes?
Can you see my intentions by looking at me?

What was yours is now mine
What used to be yours, is now mine

You're my favorite diamond in the rough I've find so new
You're my favorite new discovery, still unpolished but valuable

They're already close behind
They're already getting too near

So many snake eyes on you
So many deceiving gazes on you

So watch out for their eyes
Be careful of their intentions

They're after you tonight
They want to take advantage of you tonight

You know I'm going to break them down
You know I will defeat them

I will drain the poison out
I will remove any negativity from your surroundings

Is now mine
It belongs to me now
