[English]

You're not a real man

You act too much like a girl

You seem a bit fake

Yes, we can tell you're bluffing

Behind your smile

It's clear there's nothing there

I wish to see you die

You don't deserve to be happy, oh

And let them throw it at me

These words that hurt

I will never lower my head

I stay strong

And I keep telling myself

Take the hits

They're all just jealous

Jealous, jealous, jealous, jealous

I don't care

About all these things they say to me

They're just jealous

Never satisfied, always criticizing

These jealous ones

Jealous ones

...

I don't really like your voice

You sing a bit off-key

You won't make it

Go make your videos

And anyway

If people like you

It's not because you're good

You've got a wig, you're gay

End

And let them throw it at me

These words that hurt

I will never lower my head

I stay strong

And I keep telling myself

Take the hits

They're all just jealous

Jealous, jealous, jealous, jealous

I don't care

About all these things they say to me

They're just jealous

Never satisfied, always criticizing

These jealous ones

Jealous ones

Jealous, jealous, jealous

Jealous, jealous, jealous

Jealous, jealous, jealous

They're all just jealous (jealous)

Jealous, jealous, jealous, jealous

I don't care (I don't care)

About all these things they say to me

They're just jealous (jealous, jealous)

Never satisfied, always criticizing

These jealous ones (jealous, jealous)

Jealous ones

(Jealous, jealous)

They're all just jealous

(Jealous, jealous, jealous, jealous)

(Jealous, jealous, jealous, jealous)

(Jealous, jealous, jealous, jealous)

Jealous

[French]

T'es pas un vrai mec

Tu fais trop la meuf

Tu sembles un peu fake

Oui, on sent que tu bluffes

Derrière ton sourire

Ça se voit qu'il n'y a rien

J'aimerais te voir mourir

Tu ne mérites pas d'être bien, oh

Et qu'ils me les lancent

Ces mots qui blessent

Jamais je ne baisserai la tête

Je reste fort

Et je me répète

Encaisse les coups

C'est tous des jaloux

Jaloux, jaloux, jaloux, jaloux

Moi je m'en fous

De toutes ces choses qui me disent

C'est juste des jaloux

Jamais comblés, toujours à critiquer

Ces jaloux

Des jaloux

J'aime pas trop ta voix

Tu chantes un peu faux

T'y arriveras pas

Va faire tes vidéos

Et de toute façon

Si les gens t'aiment bien

C'est pas parce que t'es bon

T'as une wig, t'es gay

Fin

Et qu'ils me les lancent

Ces mots qui blessent

Jamais je ne baisserai la tête

Je reste fort

Et je me répète

Encaisse les coups

C'est tous des jaloux

Jaloux, jaloux, jaloux, jaloux

Moi je m'en fous

De toutes ces choses qui me disent

C'est juste des jaloux

Jamais comblés, toujours à critiquer

Ces jaloux

Des jaloux

Jaloux, jaloux, jaloux

Jaloux, jaloux, jaloux

Jaloux, jaloux, jaloux

C'est tous des jaloux (jaloux)

Jaloux, jaloux, jaloux, jaloux

Moi je m'en fous (moi je m'en fous)

De toutes ces choses qui me disent

C'est juste des jaloux (jaloux, des jaloux)
