Jealous
Water to Water Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It ain't but two things
That I really understand
It ain't but two things
That I really understand
Well you know that is a lyin' woman
You know boys and a jealous hearted man

Yeah I'm so jealous
When I go home my wife goes to bed
Yeah that chick on the yard go to roost
I heard what that man said
Yeah you know my dog jumped the fence
They keep sayin' he may be awful scared
Spoken: I don't play with nobody boy

Yeah when I was in the country
I only had two friends
Yeah that was a whistlin' woman
You know boys and a crowing hen
That's when I found out the first time
You know my trouble just begin
Spoken: Look here Johnny, I got bad luck

Yeah when I go home
My wife runs and goes to bed
Yeah anytime I go home mad
My wife runs and jumps in the bed
Yeah you know my chickens all go to roost
You know I heard what that man said
Spoken: I'm awful mad Johnny

Yeah when I was in the country
I only had two friends
Yeah that was a whistlin' woman
You know boys and a crowing hen




That's when I know for sure
My trouble just begin

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Water to Water's song Jealous talk about the singer's jealousy towards his wife and his possessiveness towards her. He mentions that he only understands two things - a lying woman and a jealous-hearted man, implying that he has been betrayed before and now has trust issues. When he goes home, his wife goes to bed and he becomes jealous of any woman he sees, even the chick on the yard who goes to roost. He even mentions that his dog jumped the fence possibly out of fear, demonstrating the intense emotions he feels. He also claims that he only had two friends when he was in the country - a whistling woman and a crowing hen - suggesting that he prefers animals as company because he doesn't trust people.


The lyrics are a reflection of toxic masculinity, where the singer is possessive and controlling towards his wife. He seems to have underlying trust issues that stem from past experiences and finds it difficult to trust anyone. The repetition of the phrase 'you know boys' indicates that he is trying to assert his masculinity and be seen as tough and in control.


Overall, the song highlights how jealousy and possessiveness can lead to toxic relationships and an unhealthy mindset. The lyrics suggest that it is important to trust and respect your partner and communicate openly with them to avoid misunderstandings and negative emotions.
