Jealous Type

Song

Jealous Type

Lyric

I know I’m the jealous type, oh the jealous type
When I see those hungry eyes in the fading light
It’s not that I don’t trust you, girl, my faith is deep and true
It’s that a love like this feels fragile, fresh, and new
So let them talk and wonder, let them try to see
Why my world stops turning when you look at me
Yeah, I’m the jealous type, and I’m not afraid to show
My heart is yours forever, that’s all I need to know, yeah that’s all I know.

The bass is shaking through the floor, a hundred moving feet
The flashing lights are painting patterns to the heavy beat
I see you standing by the bar, just laughing with your friends
And that’s where my whole story starts and where the whole world ends
You catch my gaze across the crowd, you send a secret smile
I feel a fire start to burn, it’s gonna last a while
‘Cause every person in this room just disappears from view
The only one I’ll ever see is you, my love, is you.

But then I see them turning, I see them drawing near
They see the magic in your eyes, so beautiful and clear
A shadow falls across my heart, a feeling I can’t hide
It’s like a wave that pulls me in, a raw and rising tide
I gotta make my way to you, I gotta let them know
That where you are is where I am, and I’m not letting go
This feeling is a fortress, girl, and you’re the queen inside
My love’s a silent promise, there’s nothing left to hide.

I know I’m the jealous type, oh the jealous type
When I see those hungry eyes in the fading light
It’s not that I don’t trust you, girl, my faith is deep and true
It’s that a love like this feels fragile, fresh, and new
So let them talk and wonder, let them try to see
Why my world stops turning when you look at me
Yeah, I’m the jealous type, and I’m not afraid to show
My heart is yours forever, that’s all I need to know, yeah that’s all I know.

I remember rainy nights we spent just talking on the phone
Building up a universe that we could call our own
You told me all your hidden dreams and all your secret fears
I felt a bond between our souls, erasing all the years
Of searching for a destiny, a reason or a sign
I found it in a single touch the moment you were mine
So when I see another try to catch your precious time
I can’t help feeling that it’s more than just a simple crime.

Now someone’s moving closer, trying to say your name
He doesn’t know he’s playing with a wild and dangerous flame
He sees a pretty face, a smile, a momentary prize
He doesn’t see the galaxy that’s living in your eyes
He doesn’t know the story of the battles we have won
He doesn’t see that you and I are brighter than the sun
He just sees a chance to take, a fleeting, passing glance
He doesn’t stand a single chance, not even half a chance.

And so I’m walking over, I’m cutting through the sound
My feet don’t even feel like they are touching on the ground
My focus is a laser beam, and it’s locked on your soul
Losing you is not an option, I’m not losing my control
I gotta make my way to you, I gotta let them know
That where you are is where I am, and I’m not letting go
This feeling is a fortress, girl, and you’re the queen inside
My love’s a silent promise, there’s nothing left to hide.

I know I’m the jealous type, oh the jealous type
When I see those hungry eyes in the fading light
It’s not that I don’t trust you, girl, my faith is deep and true
It’s that a love like this feels fragile, fresh, and new
So let them talk and wonder, let them try to see
Why my world stops turning when you look at me
Yeah, I’m the jealous type, and I’m not afraid to show
My heart is yours forever, that’s all I need to know, yeah that’s all I know.

I reach your side and gently take your hand inside of mine
I lean in close and whisper, “Girl, you are a work divine”
You turn to me, the world is gone, there’s no one else around
The music is the only thing, a sweet and distant sound
The name’s Saeed, and I just need for you to understand
My whole existence fits right in the palm of your own hand
This isn’t ’bout possession, girl, it isn’t about pride
It’s knowing I have heaven right here standing by my side.

Maybe I’m just selfish, maybe I’m a fool, ooh-ooh-ooh
For thinking I could ever play this kind of love so cool
But when you find that diamond in a world of dust and stone
You build a castle ’round it so it’s never left alone
It’s not about the chains we wear, it’s ’bout the wings we give
A love so strong it gives me my only reason to live
So if that’s being jealous, then that’s what I will be
For all my life, my love, as long as you’re with me, you are with me.

The jealous type… for you…
Yeah, I’m the jealous type… my love is true…
All night… all night…
With you beneath the fading light…
Just you and me… forever… yeah…
The jealous type… only for you…
