Roxy Music - Jealous Guy (Lyrics)

Roxy Music - Jealous Guy
Jealous Guy is a song written and performed by John Lennon which first appeared on his 1971 album Imagine. It is one of the most commonly covered Lennon songs, with at least ninety-two recorded cover versions, the most notable being Roxy Music's version, which reached number one in several countries three months after John Lennon's death.
Following Lennon's death in 1980, Roxy Music added a cover version of the song to their set while touring in Germany, which they recorded and released in March 1981.
Lyrics
I was dreaming of the past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
I was feeling insecure
You might not love me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside
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
I was trying to catch your eye
Thought that you were trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
I was swallowing my pain
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

Best outro ever ❤

[@yossarian6799]

December, 1980. I was 13 and had just finished the school term a few days earlier. I was enjoying a relaxing Summer day and went into the kitchen for a snack. Mum was at the breakfast table, sobbing. She hugged me and told that John Lennon had been murdered. There was a pall of silent grief the world over that reached as far as our suburban Cape Town home. His passing seemed to touch everybody, with even grannies, policemen and bus drivers wiping away the tears...

[@KillerDiaguR]

He was not a good man. Sorry

[@marianaobradovic9060]

w o w -even after all those years!!!

[@sandraolivas4085]

Going to see him live again, for the third time @ The Greek in LA, Aug 2019, so damn excited, hope he sings this!!

[@jonthebru]

Adding to the chorus: What a great version of a great song and lyric!

[@kevandraper4829]

[@emmetmehmet8354]

He is the godfather of new wave .in the 80's

[@georgeocneanu]

respect for john and roxy music

[@rosesmisadventures4500]

This song always reminds me of an ex of mine. I didn't mean to make him jealous, and I don't think he really meant to hurt me like he did. But this song helps me forgive, and understand how I must have made him feel.

[@sdushdiu]

Lennon wrote it, but Ferry & Roxy Music own it. The definitive version of a most beautiful song.

[@spencer.kissack.the.author]

Great crooner, Ferry. This song suits his voice SO much, in fact so many did. I love Dance Away too

Serbian translation (lyrics)... Sanjao sam o prošlosti... I moje srce ubrzano je lupalo... Počeo sam da gubim kontrolu - 2x Nisam želeo da te povredim Žao mi je što sam te rasplakao Nisam želeo da te povredim Ja sam samo ljubomoran momak Osećao sam se nesigurno Možda me više ne voliš.... Tresao sam se iznutra - 2x Nisam želeo da te povredim Žao mi je što sam te rasplakao Nisam želeo da te povredim Ja sam samo ljubomoran momak Pokušavao sam uhvatim tvoj pogled Mislio sam da pokušavaš da ga sakriješ Gutao sam svoj bol - 2x Nisam želeo da te povredim Žao mi je što sam te rasplakao Nisam želeo da te povredim Ja sam samo ljubomoran momak (Koji te voli... ljubavi moja... najviše na svetu celom)
