Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was dreaming of the past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control
[Verse 2]
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh now, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
[Verse 3]
I was feeling insecure
You might not love me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside
[Verse 4]
Oh, I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh now, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
[Verse 5]
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh now, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
[Verse 6]
I was trying to catch your eyes
Thought that you was trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
I was swallowing my pain
[Verse 7]
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh now, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy, watch out
I'm just a jealous guy, look out, babe
I'm just a jealous guy
