Jealous Guy

Yoko Ono · Other Songs - Yoko Ono

I was dreaming of the past

And my heart was beating fast.

I began to lose control,

I began to lose control.

I didn't mean to hurt you,

I'm sorry that I made you cry,

Oh my,

I didn't want to hurt you,

I'm just a jealous guy.

I was feeling insecure,

You might not love me any more.

I was shivering inside,

I was shivering inside.

Oh, I didn't mean to hurt you,

I'm sorry that I made you cry,

Oh my,

I didn't want to hurt you,

I'm just a jealous guy.

I didn't mean to hurt you,

I'm sorry that I made you cry,

Oh my,

I didn't want to hurt you,

I'm just a jealous guy.

I was tryin' to catch your eyes,

Thought that you was tryin' to hide.

I was swallowing my pain,

I was swallowing my pain.

I didn't mean to hurt you,

I'm sorry that I made you cry,

Oh my,

I didn't want to hurt you,

I'm just a jealous guy,

Watch out,

I'm just a jealous guy,

Look out, babe,

I'm just a jealous guy.
