“Jealous”
By Nick Jonas
I don’t like the way
He’s looking at you
I’m starting to think you want him too
Am I crazy, have I lost you
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 red in the face
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
Chorus
‘Cause you’re too sexy, beautiful
And everybody wants a taste
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
(Chorus)
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
(Chorus)
