Lyrics[]
[Intro: Bebe Rexha]
Baby, I'm jealous
[Verse 1: Bebe Rexha]
Went from beautiful to ugly
'Cause insecurity told me you don't love me
All it takes is a girl above me
On your timeline to make me nothing
[Pre-Chorus: Bebe Rexha]
This is me, a woman in dichotomy
I love me until I don't
[Chorus: Bebe Rexha]
Baby, I'm jealous
Of the pictures that you like
Baby, I'm jealous
Of the girls with lighter eyes
Baby, I'm jealous (Ooh)
And I know that it ain't right
But I'm jealous, jealous (Haha)
The jealous kind
[Verse 2: Bebe Rexha]
I'm jelly, jelly, jelly, jelly, jelly on a plate
Sunny side up, I got egg on my face
Waist trainer for a tinier waist
But I can't help it if I like the way food taste
[Pre-Chorus: Bebe Rexha]
This is me, a woman in dichotomy
I love me until I don't
My apologies for looking on your history
I'm trying to let it go
[Chorus: Bebe Rexha]
Baby, I'm jealous
Of the pictures that you like
Baby, I'm jealous
Of the girls with lighter eyes
Baby, I'm jealous (Ooh)
And I know that it ain't right
But I'm jealous, jealous
The jealous kind
[Verse 3: Doja Cat]
That chick, can't be that chick
Baby, I'm a bad bitch
If he fiendin', he'll prolly get a catfish
Keep him dreamin' to pull up on a nap, shit
I don't even be askin' him, "Who that chick?"
Yuh-huh, who that chick? Nah
That's pitiful, that's so average, why?
Some women want men and some girls want bwoys
Tell lies until they buggin' and they pants on fire, uh
I stole ya man
He got freedom to chase what he likes
I know you're mad
But he ain't even worth none of your time
It's such a drag
I'm not being spiteful, but he's trash
Won't be the last
To let you know, but he gon' show you
[Chorus: Bebe Rexha & Doja Cat]
Baby, I'm jealous
Of the pictures that you like
Baby, I'm jealous (Ooh)
Of the girls with lighter eyes
Baby, I'm jealous (Ooh, I'm jealous)
And I know that it ain't right (You lied to me)
But I'm jealous, jealous (Uh-uh)
The jealous kind (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Outro: Doja Cat & Bebe Rexha]
I'm jealous of her (Yeah)
Need ya number (Ba-baby, I'm)
She doesn't love ya
Boy, lemme show ya (Baby, I'm jealous)
I'm jealous of her (I'm jealous, I'm jealous)
Need ya number (I'm jealous, I'm jealous, ba-baby, I'm)
She doesn't love ya (I'm jealous, I'm jealous)
Boy, lemme show ya (I'm jealous, baby, I'm jealous)

The jealous kind
[Verse 2: Natti Natasha]
No te miento que yo me pongo celosa (Woh)
Cuando veo tu like en la foto de otra famosa (For sure)
Sé que lo hace' de maldad y te lo goza' (Ah)
Pero me preocupa sabiendo que soy otra cosa
Boy, you actin' funny, pero no encuentro el chiste (No)
Luego no haga' bulla si viene otro y me desviste (Ja)
Yo estoy en la mía y tú en la tuya, ahora está' triste
Ver que otro se coma lo que un día tú te comiste
Boté tu libro, ya no paso má' la página (Uh-uh)
Donde hubo fuego, dicen que restan ceniza' (Uh-uh)
Pero las soplé y no queda na', no queda na' (Uh-uh-uh; oh-oh)
Aunque
[Chorus: Bebe Rexha & Natti Natasha]
Baby, I'm jealous (Yeah)
Que de mí se apoderan, no veo los celos (Mmm)
Of the girls with lighter eyes
Baby, I'm jealous (Ooh, yeah)
No lo puedo controlar
Y odio mis celos, mis celos
But I'm the jealous kind
[Verse 3: Doja Cat]
That chick, can't be that chick
Baby, I'm a bad bitch
If he fiendin', he'll prolly get a catfish
Keep him dreamin' to pull up on a nap, shit

And I know that it ain't right (You lied to me)
But I'm jealous, jealous (Uh-uh)
The jealous kind
