I got strung up from our loving I wish you cared to see But she only cares when she's got the time And I fret so much about our loving I wish she'd let me be But our destinies got us intertwined And is it really my fault I get a shiver when I see you with those other guys Wearing the jacket I bought I can't help but lose my temper and I don't know why I get jealous, but I'm too cool to admit it When the fellas, talk to my girl I ain't with it I get jealous, but I'm too cool to admit it When the fellas, talk to my girl I ain't with it I ain't with it, I ain't with it, I ain't with it I ain't with it, I ain't with it, I ain't with it I ain't with it, I ain't with it, I ain't with it I ain't with it, I ain't with it, I ain't with it What is she thinking, too much uncertainty Why can't she give some sort of sign You know and I know, a thing or two about loyalty Ooh but that girl don't pay no mind So is it really my fault I get a shiver when I see you with those other guys Wearing the jacket I bought I can't help but lose my temper and I don't know why I get jealous, but I'm too cool to admit it When the fellas, talk to my girl I ain't with it I get jealous, but I'm too cool to admit it When the fellas, talk to my girl I ain't with it I ain't with it, I ain't with it, I ain't with it I ain't with it, I ain't with it, I ain't with it I ain't with it, I ain't with it, I ain't with it I ain't with it, I ain't with it, tu tu tu I get strung up from her loving I wish she cared to see But she only cares when she so inclined And I fret so much about her loving I wish she'd let me be But her destiny got us so intertwined Back in 2011, I decided To not let this play with my mind But when the boys from out of town They come back around I feel like committing a crime, yeah I get jealous, but I'm too cool to admit it When the fellas, talk to my girl I ain't with it I get jealous, but I'm too cool to admit it When the fellas, talk to my girl I ain't with it I get jealous, (ooh ooh ooh) but I'm too cool to admit it When the fellas, (ooh ooh ooh) talk to my girl I ain't with it I get jealous, (ooh ooh ooh) but I'm too cool to admit it When the fellas, (ooh ooh ooh) talk to my girl I ain't with it
