[Verse 1]
I was dreaming of the past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control

[Chorus]
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

[Verse 2]
I was feeling insecure
You might not love me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside

[Chorus]
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

[Instrumental Verse]

[Chorus]
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

[Verse 3]
I was trying to catch your eyes
Thought that you was trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
I was swallowing my pain

[Chorus]
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
Watch out, I'm just a jealous guy
Look out baby, I'm just a jealous guy

John Lennon

As the founding member of The Beatles, John Winston Lennon (1940-1980) is one of the most recognizable cultural icons of the 20th Century. He is also the other half of the Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership, alongside fellow Beatle, Paul McCartney.

As a solo artist and through his relationship and collaboration with avant-garde artist Yoko Ono, he became just as recognizable for his political activism.

Lennon was murdered by Mark David Chapman on December 8, 1980, outside of his New York apartment, The Dakota. Since then, his music and message remain timeless.
