[Verse 1]
Make sure she's alright
She just can't wait to party
She'll make it look so easy
Why won't you listen to me
Yeah

Jealousy
Some girls have it rough, oh baby
Loyalty
Why is that so tough, the trust is gone

[Chorus]
Jealous
Don't you know your girl is jealous
She can't help but be suspicious
Can't you see, that girl is jealous
So better make it right

[Verse 2]
Cruelty
It's easy for him to be
Fallacy
You're out on a limb for him

Conspiracy, anxiety she just can't wait to party
Strategy, totally she'll make it look so easy
Loyalty, disagree why won't you listen to me
Fantasy, novelty, she will be free

[Chorus]
Jealous
Don't you know your girl is jealous
She can't help but be suspicious
Can't you see, that girl is jealous?
She can't help but be suspicious
Can't you see, that girl is jealous?
So better make it right

Conspiracy, anxiety she just can't wait to party
Strategy, totally she'll make it look so easy
Loyalty, disagree why won't you listen to me
Fantasy, novelty, she will be free

[Bridge]
Jealous, it's no fallacy
Jealous, she doesn't trust you much
Suspicious, so baby can't you see that girl
Don't trust you much
Make sure she's alright

[Chorus]
Jealous
Don't you know your girl is jealous
She can't help but be suspicious
Can't you see, that girl is jealous
So better make it right, she doesn't trust ya

Jealous
Don't you know your girl is jealous
She can't help but be suspicious
Can't you see, that girl is jealous

Jealousy, yeah

Alanis Nadine Morissette was born on June 1, 1974, in Ottawa, Canada. At age 6, she began taking piano lessons, and by the time she was 9, she was writing her own songs.

When she was 11, Morissette joined the cast of a Nickelodeon children’s show called You Can’t Do That on Television, and saved up her earnings. In 1987, she used them to self-release her first track, “Fate Stay With Me.” The song caught the attention of record label MCA Canada; at age 14, Morissette signed a contract with the company. She released a self-titled album, Alanis, in 1991, which went platinum. Quickly following up the success of her first album, Morissette released Now Is The Time a year later, though it did not reach the same level of popularity.

In 1994 Morissette moved to Los Angeles teamed up with industry veteran Glen Ballard, and she began to approach songwriting more organically.
