Lyrics for Hey Jealousy as interpreted by Ice

Hey Jealousy Lyrics
Tell me do you think it'd be all right
If I could just crash here tonight
You can see I'm in no shape for driving
And anyway I've got no place to go
And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I'd ever had
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone

[Chorus:]
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take its place... Hey jealousy
And you can trust me not to think
And not to sleep around
If you don't expect too much from me
You might not be let down

'Cause all I really want is to be with you
Feeling like I matter too
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might be here with you

[Chorus]

beautiful song indeed! I see it as about a guy that really messed things up with someone he really cared about & wanted to be with, and because of jealousy and the fact that she just maybe either didnt want him or something was in the way... now he's just trying to make things right, and trying to re-etablish something there... a rather sad love song... Im sure alot of us can relate. And yes this is a great song for a depressed mood, thats why 90's alt/grunge was so great :)

This song was playing the first time I realized that I liked my new guy, back when I was in the 8th grade, many years ago. Everytime I hear this song, I think about sitting beside him singing this song. I thought I was in heaven....you know those old feelings you get in junior high. I sure am glad that he and I are together now, about 8 years later! I guess there's a time and place for everything! BLT, I will never forget this song and the memory of you with it!

robin's voice is amazing, and it really adds to the emotion that's felt in this song. to me, its always been about a guy talking to his ex, trying to rekindle their broken relationship. he realizes that she might even be seeing someone (hence, "hey jealousy"?) but he thinks that though "the past is gone, something might be found to take its place". a very sad, but sweet love song.

FAVORITE PART: "if you don't expect too much from me, you might not be let down. cuz all i really want is to be with you, feeling like i matter too.." AND "she took my heart.."

i still dont' know what the last bit means. This is a damned great song to have on while someone you used to be with and regret losing is around. It's even better if you play it (dead easy to play). Makes things better

This is a great song. There's never a time when I can't listen to it. I think it's about trying to fix his relationship with an ex who he really loved but just couldn't work out. My favorite lines of this song are: "And you can trust me not to think/And not to sleep around/If you don't expect too much from me/You might not be let down." It's such a perfect way to express to someone that you might not be perfect but you really care for them and want them to look past that. I don't really know what the last line means -- "there's only one thing i couldn't start" but my guess is that he couldn't start another relationship with this person again. That's just my opinion...I could be wrong.

This is an awesome song indeed. I agree that its about a guy talking to his ex and saying how they could just hang out like old times and he really misses her and wishes he hadnt been jealous when they were together or something. I love that part "And you can trust me not to think
And not to sleep around
If you don't expect too much from me
You might not be let down
Cause all I really want is to be with you
Feeling like I matter too
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might be here with you"

Hmm... love the song.. my friend insists he says "Hey Chelsea".. could be because her name's Chelsea. ;)
Anywho... yeahl I quite like the song... especially the "If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago, I might not be alone". I'm sure everyone feels like that at some point, and it fits in with the whole song, which is almost like.. not an apology... an explanation, a story...
Hurrah.

This was the last song of the night last Saturday, the @4th of August, 2002, and I fell in love with the song all over again. When I heard this song back in my younger years, I thought of the perfect love that I didn't have, and thought about the sweet hurt of losing that love. Now, I think that it is a lot of the same emotions. I can't explain what this song means to me, but I will say it is again, my favorite song ever.
good day.

it was able to put into words what I feel... Maybe the one thing he couldn't start was taking back his heart...sob and moving on!!!

A song about needing the support of an ex while descending into alcoholism. The entire album is about having a drinking habit.
