Jealous Guy Lyrics by Jimmy Scott

Holding Back the Years

1998

[Verse 1]
I was dreaming of the past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control
[Chorus]
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
[Verse 2]
I was feeling insecure
You might not love me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside
[Chorus]
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
I never want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
I was trying to catch your eyes
Thought that you were trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
I was swallowing my pain
[Chorus]
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
I never want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
