# #

# Boy, let me know #

# If this is careless, I #

# Could be torn between #

# Two roads that I just can't decide #

# Which one is leading me #

# To hell or paradise? #

# Baby, I can't hurt you #

# Sure, but I'm the jealous type #

# He loves me #

# But he can't hold this above me #

# When my eyes are green #

# I'm ugly #

# You're vain and hip to #

# Rushing #

# I'm so over-tired #

# I will not wait in this lane #

# Never seen you cry #

# You're mine #

# Boy, let me know #

# If this is careless, I #

# Could be torn between #

# Two roads that I just can't decide #

# Which one is leading me #

# To hell or paradise? #

# Baby, I can't hurt you #

# Sure, I'm the jealous type #

# I'm the jealous type #

# Oh, I'm jealous #

# Baby, yeah, I'm jealous #

# Oh, I'm jealous #

# Baby, I'm the jealous type #

# Oh, I'm jealous #

# Baby, I'm jealous #

# Oh, I'm jealous #

# Baby, I'm the jealous type #

[cheering]

# #

# I said, "you wanna do what now with who?" #

# I don't need a pin drop or a text tonight #

# I ain't even coming out with you #

# You don't want to show me off #

# To your ex or your friends tonight #

# You must be on molly #

# Cause y'all ain't kick it when we started up #

# And if she really was a friend #

# Like you said she was #

# I would've been locked in #

# But I called your bluff, ha #

# No girl enjoys #

# Trying to tough it out for #

# A party boy #

# Everyone wants you #

# And you love all the noise #

# You want what you can have #

# But I made a choice #

# I'm not your type #

# If this is careless, I #

# Could be torn between #

# Two roads that I just can't decide #

# Which one is leading me #

# To hell or paradise? #

# Baby, I can't hurt you #

# Sure, but I'm the jealous type #

# Oh, I'm jealous #

# Baby, yeah, I'm jealous #

# Oh, I'm jealous #

# Baby, I'm the jealous type #

# Oh, I'm jealous #

# Baby, yeah, I'm jealous #

# Oh, I'm jealous #

# #

VMAs, let me hear you say, oh, I'm jealous!

Come on and say, oh, I'm jealous, yeah!

Let me hear you say, oh!

Say, oh!

I'm jealous!
