‘Jalouse’ sees Ecco reckoning with a jealousy that has come between himself and another. The gradual distortion of the production into the break reflects the singer’s gradual discomfort with the gulf that this opens up between these two people, but the frail delivery of second verse emphasises above...
[Verse 1]
Everybody knows your business
You don't have to act different around us
And I heard you want to be Ridgecrest
Go endless, go heaven
[Chorus]
You don't have to act so jealous
I can tell by the way you look at us
And you want something you won't get, huh?
Oh, haven't you had more than enough?
Why you got to act so jealous?
(You want it, you want it, you want it, you want it)
Hella toxic, so precious
(You want it, you want it, you want it, you want it)
Why you got to act so headless?
(You want it, you want it, you want it, you want it)
Nothing much, nothing special
(You want it, you want it, you want it, you want it)
[Interlude]
You want it (You want it)
You want it (You want it)
You want it (You want it)
You want it too much
You want it (You want it)
You want it (You want it)
You want it (You want it)
You want it too much
You want it (You want it)
You want it (You want it)
You want it (You want it)
You want it too much
You want it (You want it)
You want it (You want it)
You want it (You want it)
You want it too much
Why you got to act so jealous?
So toxic, so precious
Why you got to act so headless?
It's nothing special
[Chorus]
You don't have to act so jealous
I can tell by the way you look at us (Want it, want, it)
And you want something you won't get, huh?
Oh, haven't you had more than enough?
You don't have to act so jealous
I can tell by the way you look at us (Want it, want, it)
And you want something you won't get, huh?
Oh, haven't you had more than enough?
[Verse 2]
Oh won't you wish me luck, love me or love me not
You don't have to act so jealous, don't care what happens to us
I'll love you either way
It doesn't have to be like this
And I don't want to be your dream boy anymore
More than I care to admit
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
(Hallå)
