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 want 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.
 Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you,
 I'm just a jealous guy.

 I didn't mean to hurt you,
 I'm sorry that I made you cry.
 Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you,
 I'm just a jealous guy.

 I was trying to catch your eyes,
 thought that you was 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.
 Oh no, 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.
