Song of the Day – Day 7 – Jealous Guy – John Lennon.

This is going to be my last post today as it is  22:46 and I still need to have a shower and get to bed as I have work tomorrow, So I have caught up 2 days so will only be 4 days behind tomorrow. I didn’t realise I was actually 6 days behind. Oopsi I don’t know how that happened.

John Lennon – Jealous Guy

This song was written and released by John Lennon in 1971 on his Imagine album. Although it is a well known and iconic song I have to admit that I only heard it recently for the first time.  It reached number 1 in the UK when it was released as well as in Luxembourg and Australia. It renter the charts in 2012 in Belgium where it got to number 4.

Here are the 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
Oh my 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
Oh I didn’t mean to hurt you
I’m sorry that I made you cry
Oh my I didn’t want to hurt you
I’m just a jealous guy

[Whistling]

I didn’t mean to hurt you
I’m sorry that I made you cry
Oh my I didn’t want to hurt you
I’m just a jealous guy

I was trying to catch your eyes
I 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
Oh my I didn’t want to hurt you
I’m just a jealous guy
watch out baby I’m just a jealous guy
Look out baby I’m just a jealous guy

 

It really is a stunningly beautiful song and I would recommend anyone give it a listen.
