Jealous (I Ain’t With It) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I get strung up from her loving
I wish she'd care to see

But she only cares when she's got the time
And I fret so much about her loving

I wish she'd let me be
But our destinies got us intertwined

[Pre-Chorus]
And is it really my fault
I get a shiver when I see her with those other guys
Wearing the jacket I bought

I can't help but lose my temper and I don't know why

[Chorus]
I get jealous, but I'm too cool to admit it
When the fellas talk to my girl I ain't with it

I get jealous, but I'm too cool to admit it
When the fellas, talk to my girl I ain't with it
I ain't with it, I ain't with it, I ain't with it
I ain't with it, I ain't with it, I ain't with it
I ain't with it, I ain't with it, I ain't with it
I ain't with it, I ain't with it, I ain't with it

[Verse 2]
What is she thinking, too much uncertainty
Why can't she give some sort of sign
You know and I know a thing or two about loyalty
But that girl don’t pay it no mind
[Pre-Chorus]
And is it really my fault
I get a shiver when I see her with those other guys
Wearing the jacket I bought

I can't help but lose my temper and I don't know why

[Chorus]
I get jealous, but I'm too cool to admit it
When the fellas talk to my girl I ain't with it

I get jealous, but I'm too cool to admit it
When the fellas, talk to my girl I ain't with it
I ain't with it, I ain't with it, I ain't with it
I ain't with it, I ain't with it, I ain't with it
I ain't with it, I ain't with it, I ain't with it
I ain't with it, I ain't with it, I ain't with it

[Bridge]
I get strung up from her loving
I wish she'd cared to see
But she only cares when she's so inclined
And I fret so much about her loving
I wish she'd let me be
But out destinies got us so intertwined
Back in 2011, I decided
To not let this play with my mind
But when the boys from out of town
They come back around
I feel like committing a crime, yeah

[Chorus]
I get jealous, but I'm too cool to admit it
When the fellas talk to my girl I ain't with it

I get jealous, but I'm too cool to admit it
When the fellas, talk to my girl I ain't with it
I ain't with it, I ain't with it, I ain't with it
I ain't with it, I ain't with it, I ain't with it
I ain't with it, I ain't with it, I ain't with it
I ain't with it, I ain't with it, I ain't with it
I get jealous, but I'm too cool to admit it
When the fellas talk to my girl I ain't with it

I get jealous, but I'm too cool to admit it
When the fellas, talk to my girl I ain't with it
I ain't with it, I ain't with it, I ain't with it
I ain't with it, I ain't with it, I ain't with it
I ain't with it, I ain't with it, I ain't with it
I ain't with it, I ain't with it, I ain't with it

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“Jealous” is the 3rd track leaked off of Chromeo’s 2014 album White Women.

On it, lead singer David “Dave 1” Macklovich neurotically struggles to mask his insecurities as his girl talks to other guys.

He told Buzzfeed:

Guys are all schmucks, let’s face it. I don’t know why music constantly extols this fictitious macho fantasy persona—we’re all just puny insecure oversize children. And it would be funnier to embrace it.
