Doja Cat “Jealous Type” Lyrics Meaning and Song Review
The song starts with the chorus and details how frustrated Doja Cat is in this relationship. She feels like she is torn between two roads that lead to hell and paradise. Why would there be a road that leads to hell in a loving and caring relationship? What is he doing wrong?
I’m the jealous type
Is her jealousy going to get the best of her? Is she going to crash and burn at the slightest sign of insecurity?
He loves me
But he can’t hold this above me
In the first verse of the song, Doja Cat confesses that her partner truly loves her. He probably would not do anything to jeopardize what they have. But Doja is not going to let this fact control her. She is not ready to give him that much power. She turns red as is–he does not need more power over her.
Doja says she has never seen him cry, implying that he has not shared his vulnerabilities with her. Is he impervious to everything? Is this too much power for him to wield over her?
The second verse of the song tells us a slightly different story.
You don’t wanna show me off to your ex or your friends tonight
This guy has some secrets to keep. And she is the secret, she has come to realize. Why would Doja Cat not be invited to his friend circle? Is he ashamed to be with her with his friends? Does he have some other image to maintain with his friends? Whatever the answer might be, it does not raise a green flag. Doja Cat knows she is playing a dangerous hand, and she does not want to be another statistic in his playbook.
No girl enjoys trying to tough it out for a party boy
She is slowly coming to the realization that she might not be his type after all. This is why she is stuck between the crossroads of hell and paradise. Is the gamble going to pay off? Or is she going to not travel the road to find out?
Yes, Doja might be the jealous type, but she also might be the smart type, not to be fooled by his plays and truly see him for what he is.
