Jealous Guy

Lyrics

I was dreaming of the past,
And my heart was beating fast.
I began to lose control,
I began to lose control.

This is about his first wife whom he was extremely overly protective and he beat if she so much as talked to another man ...

Jealous Guy
Best song on the album
This was either about the girl he cheated on or Paul McCartney js
I'm gonna go ahead and agree with mjt here. John WAS indeed a prick. (Yea, yea...go ahead and crucify me) Nice people don't generally write songs about being insanely jealous or controlling or abusive etc. He was also a heroin junkie in his later life. Can't taint what the Beatles accomplished tho. Love 'em all
@beckyblue - he often was a manipulative abusive character in his personal relationship s if you read any biographies of him. I don't think he is creating anyone here just talking about himself
Imagine one of the best songs ever written timeless Classic
good song, id say Imagine is better though
wondering what you would be doing today
cool.

Loving Lennon on and on and on and ON.......... . . . . : )
I cannot disassociate this song from Looks Who's Talking 2.
Had this one of album and 8 track, took it on vacation and played it over and over.
dock of the bay had a great whistling part as did
the andy griifith show man i am dated myself who
gives a #$#$%##$#$%
no no day for me
becky see charles manson you can get whatever you want from music
Please, please. He starts whistling. This is an unreliable narrator. He is not writing in his voice. He is creating a manipulative , abusive character. This is John Lennon's great, dark sense of humor. "Watch out; look out, baby." See also: "Run For Your Life" from Rubber Soul. Anyone with me??

A Tragic loss, John, rest in Peace.

Ah, I love this song. I prefer Mother (such a sad song. Fun fact: the game series Mother was named such because the developer, who is Japanese, heard that song and it made him cry), but this song is still amazing.
very deep and great sounding.
sincere or sarcastic, this is the soft breakup line guys give the ladies. I've heard it. I've said some of these things. This song is deeply human . . . that's what makes it great.

It never gets old.
I love this song. It is pure and vulnerable.
This is a great, DEEPLY SARCASTIC, song. It is written in the voice of one very nasty mother-chuck e r .
This sounds nothing like: "A day in the life"
Simpler days

The song sounds beautiful, but the words sound like an apology from a domestic abuser.

This is a beautiful Lennon ballad, one of his most accomplished vocals during his solo period. Phil Spector's piano is exquisite.
I know! I hear a day in the life every time he goes to say "I didn't mean..."
Everyone else hears "A Day In The Life" in this song, right?
im just jealous of johns talent

I miss his music, John Lennon was my favorite Beatle.

One of Lennon's best solo songs. My mind wants to wander to if Paul was harmonizeing with John here...
The human voice the Greatest instrument. Ooo my, whistling.
While this is a great song, whistling is not the mark of a great song. Just remember back to "Winds of Change" by the Scorpions. Not a great song.
listen to patience or civil war by guns n' roses both have whistling in the songs.
I love his whistling! I've never heard anyone other than a Beatles member whistle in a song.

His very best recording!!! ! Absolutely beautiful song, lyrics, whistling, the whole thing!!!!
Maybe Lennon's best solo recording. Hard to do better than
this.
No need to be jealous 'ol boy.
But at least you apologized.. . that's better than nothing.
Lennon's best solo recording. Beatiful production going hand-in-hand with heartfelt and earnest lyrics. You got to love Lennon's whistling. His whistling sounds better than most other singer's harmonica playing. Looking at you Bono. Maybe I'm just jealous. :)
