Jealous
Green-eyed Desires: Unraveling the Depths of Jealousy in Robert Palmer's Song
Lyrics
Jealous, jealous, jealous, jealous,
Expressing intense feelings of jealousy.
Jealous, jealous,
Reiteration of the intense jealousy being felt.
When I see you with that guy
Observing the person of interest with someone else.
And he catches your pretty eye
Noticing the person's attention being caught by the other person.
You know it makes we want to die
Feeling a strong emotional response, possibly anguish or heartbreak.
And I'm left out to dry
Feeling abandoned or excluded.
You know it makes me want to feel
Expressing the desire to experience the emotion of jealousy.
Jealous, jealous,
Reiteration of the intense jealousy being felt.
Jealous, jealous,
Continued expression of strong jealousy.
Don't you know that it makes me green
Associating jealousy with the color green, a symbol of envy.
When I think about you and him
Reflecting on the person of interest being involved with someone else.
I'm just an end to all your means
Feeling used or unimportant in the person's life.
And I'm torn apart at the seams
Experiencing emotional pain and distress.
You know it makes me want to feel
Expressing the desire to feel jealousy again.
Jealous, jealous,
Reiteration of the intense jealousy being felt.
Jealous, jealous,
Continued expression of strong jealousy.
When I see you with that guy
Repeating the observation of the person with someone else.
And he catches your pretty eye
Noting the person's attraction to the other individual.
You know it makes we want to die
Intensifying emotions, expressing the impact on well-being.
Oh, and I'm left out to dry
Feeling abandoned or excluded again.
You know it makes me want to feel
Expressing the desire to experience the emotion of jealousy.
You know it makes me want to feel jealous, jealous,
Reiteration of the intense jealousy being felt.
Jealous, jealous,
Continued expression of strong jealousy.
Jealous, jealous,
Repetition emphasizing the overwhelming and pervasive nature of jealousy.
Jealous, jealous,
-Jealous, jealous,
-Jealous, jealous,
-Jealous, jealous,
-Jealous, jealous
Final repetition of the theme of intense jealousy.
