Jewel - I'm Sensitive Lyrics






I was thinking that I might fly today
Just to disprove all the things you say
It doesn't take a talent to be mean
Your words can crush things that are unseen
So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way.
You always tell me that is impossible
To be respected and be a girl
Why's it gotta be so complicated?
Why you gotta tell me if I'm hated?
So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way.
I was thinking that it might do some good
If we robbed the cynics and took all their food
That way what they believe will have taken place
And we'll give it to anybody who has some faith
So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way.
I have this theory that if we're told we're bad
Then that's the only idea we'll ever have
But maybe if we are surrounded in beauty
Someday we will become what we see
'Cause anyone can start a conflict
It's harder yet to disregard it
I'd rather see the world from another angle
We are everyday angels
Be careful with me 'cause I'd like to stay that way

Jewel I'm Sensitive Comments
  1. C.... M....

    Love this

  2. D.... R....

    haven't heard this song in 20 years...brings back memories

  3. C.... B....

    This makes me tear up everytime I hear, 5 years ago it was played at my Aunty's funeral and the song still gets me.

  4. S.... A....

    I was a fan of "Alaska the Last Frontier", loooong before I found out that Jewel was the daughter of Atz Kilcher. After getting to know them for so many seasons, I have NO doubt that Jewel wrote this about her father. With that said, Atz has come a long way (in his thinking) since the show began but wow, the Kilcher men are some of the last of a dying breed and I can just say, thank God! Nowadays on "the homesteads" the men are starting to get it. There's still a lot of room for improvement but the younger ones are more in tune and the older ones seem to be getting better. The women are coming on strong and the men are having to rethink their upbringing and their (sorry to say - "male chauvinistic” ) attitudes. Hopefully that will continue.
    Jewel - beautiful song and beautiful person. So glad you broke free.

  5. J.... R....

    I 💓 Jewel she is beautiful .in GOD'S eyes

  6. b.... p....

    A great reminder to look for the beauty in every day and to absorb it, so it becomes a part of us all.

  7. W.... ....

    This feels like my anthem...

  8. J.... M....

    I'd guess she's an Empath

  9. P.... C....

    Congratulations! :O}

  10. j.... t....

    I'm sensitive.....and I'd like to stay that way...

  11. J.... R....

    the other sister.

  12. C.... A....

    The Other Sister brought me here

  13. N.... N....

    ((( 🌸 )))

  14. A.... Q....

    💋💋💋💋💋💋💔😤💋💋🇬🇧

  15. W.... C....

    To all the other sensitive people out n about Often I use words to hurt my lover former lover the thing is it was a 16 year relationship and the words are chosen to be hurtful but not to hurt. Others sometimes what we say and how we feel defer or ego and hurt pride creates this xtra ness but thats not really what I feel toward Humanity ..!!! Sincerely

  16. K.... ....

    Screw negativity.

  17. M.... G....

    since when did you become sensitive? you intentionally moved to Huntsville, Alabama just to eventually connect with my family and tell them all the things you had heard from that bunch of lesbians and bitches we were working with.in sac-a-sh#t. all of you thought you were so smart by destroying me and my reputation and that was not enough for you. you willfully and intentionally arranged a connection with family members whom you knew would turn my family against me and put a family member in contact with a girlfriend of yours so an x-nephew i once knew would move in with your friend. of course, my sister being misguided by a Baptist minister at her church to use tough love to banish me from my family unless i moved back there and get back into the Baptist fold. i know this because the minister approached me at my brothers memorial and invited me into that church where my sister attends for many years. i had rather die than go back into that church that has tried every method to have me destroyed. they knew what they were doing because sister was into that sort of thing and was easy to manipulate to their liking. i am not like that because they have tried to manipulate me into marriage into the church and now using force and social ostracism to force me and destroy my career so i could not get back into my field in private sector. so you are sensitive huh? i don't give a sweet s#hit if you are sensitive or not and you are not. you are possibly the most coarse human being i have ever had the misfortune to work with. you are like so many of the women out there who boldly attack men who refuse to be forced or manipulated into marrying one of the leftover dikes so they can control you with threats of a suite and living off of your salary to help raise their kids by some other man who has disappeared after they impregnated her and refuses to take responsibility for his own child. you think i don't know what is going on in that govt. insane asylum and what you women are attempting to pull off by getting me out of the picture? i know the drill, so don't play any more games with me. i see very well who you are.

  18. J.... K....

    i needed this song today

  19. T.... C....

    So we're not robbing the Senate an taking all their loot?

    T.... C....

    I actually thought there was a hair on my screen and I blew on it....lol

  20. A.... &....

    This song kinda makes me think about my 7 year old. It’s a reminder that he’s just a lil guy & if I’m having a bad day, not to take it out on him.

  21. j.... t....

    this is me with my dad and other men😂

    j.... t....

    kunne du mon være hende fra scor

    j.... t....

  24. E.... W....

    We are every day😇s

  25. K.... R....

    This song is not only Jewel's best song, but it's also a song that hits home. 😢❤️💜💙💚💛

  26. D.... S....

    I loved Jewel back in the day. Normally I like metal but Jewel makes me have the feels.

  27. a.... a....

    At 2:04 to the end. I can just imagine this actually being a speech

  28. L.... M....

    Marilyn Manson brought me here~

  29. C.... C....

    Beautiful woman beautiful voice 90s

  30. E.... N....

    But are you sensitive aubrey

  31. L.... A....

    I think this song is perfect.

  32. D.... H....

    This was the first song that let me know that being sensitive was okay, even a good thing. Before that I was told there was something wrong with me..."Stop being sensitive!" I didn't want to, but I heard this a lot...

  33. a.... ....

    This is such an INFP song

    a.... ....

    aliassylvie3 from another INFP; yep right on target... I love her moxie and going against the grain;)

  34. M.... ....

    This song was the first thing that ever made me except being sensitive.

    M.... ....

    MimiChu, it was the first song that let me know that being sensitive was okay, even a good thing. Before that I was told there was something wrong with me..."Stop being sensitive!" I didn't want to, but I heard this a lot...

    M.... ....

    Me too😇

    M.... ....

    It's "accept" you idiot's.. jk harsh joke but you can't always be sensitive.. nor can you always be insensitive.

  35. B.... W....

    shanahan Mcharie

  36. B.... W....

    I in love with you

  37. I.... G....

    Read about this song in a book about empaths now it makes so much sense haha

  38. J.... L....

    sounds like Suzanne Vega..

  39. M.... E....

    I still can’t hear this without either bawling or shedding at least one tear, I think maybe I’m too sensitive... It is so hard being sensitive in a world of meanness 😭😞 but I still love everyone 🦋

    M.... E....

    You're not alone

    M.... E....

    I feel the same way about this song. It brings tears to my eyes! 😊

  40. A.... G....

    Love you jewel

  41. S.... W....

    I was thinking that I might fly today

    You always tell me that it's impossible

    Why you gotta tell me if I'm hated
    Oh please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
    And I'd like to stay that way

  63. P.... F....

    This is me growing up. I knew things weren't right for the women in my day, so I decided when I was young that my life would be different. They sure were. I fought for a lot of different things and got them. I just hope the women who came after me got as much out of the changes I tried to make as I did. My life WAS worth the effort, the struggles, and the pain I endured. I just want to let my children know, I'm sorry for not being " mother of the year" I loved you very much, I just wish I could have been there for you more than I was able to be. I miss you both terribly, I've left you alone because that's the way you wanted it. I love Jewel, so her song, I'm Sensitive, just reminds me of my life, I wanted to just let you know that. Love, Mom

    P.... F....

    Sounds like an interesting story. I hope you will write down what happened from your point of view so they will know.

  64. V.... L....

  80. C.... M....

    Thank you!! This was the drops of gasoline that i needed to keep the embers of my hope and confidence alive... sometimes i am vulnerable to the rain and need that little bit to keep me going :-)  I am in such awe of musicians who are so dedicated to helping others know and specifically feel that they are not alone.  The way the world functions right now, though it is changing to balance out, it benefits some to continue to draw those imaginary lines of cognitive dissonance.  We are the only ones who can define who we are... words will never define who I am.  I am an enigma because I am scattered and focused, I am energetic and sluggish. I am conscious and unconscious. I am joy and unfortunately sometimes I am fear.  I am 3-dimensional.  I am unique and not unique... which is why I will do my very best to stay alert and intentionally treat others the exact same way I want to be treated... doesn't mean that they are getting what they want, but they are getting what I've got - and I am always me, doing what i can to be the best version of myself... intentionally.  It takes effort, and it deserves to be respected by me... my efforts don't need validation from anyone else, and can't be dependent on the approval of anyone else if I am to continue to love and accept myself exactly the way I am.  :-)

    C.... M....

    Christine Mauriello where is she now

    C.... M....

    Christine Mauriello well said.. I feel the same about myself as well as you. The others too when they behave otherwise I have learned to walk away quickly. So there imbalance doesn't drag me down. I am truly reforming my beliefs about myself. Hoping to change my feelings for the world's population from only changing me. Thank you for your insight and acceptance! Xoxo

  83. M.... D....

    This song is how I feel a lot

  84. S.... ....

    I like this song. I think I understand some of the meaning behind it but can some tell me the whole meaning behind it? I really want to understand what this songs about!

  85. D.... S....

    whys it got to be so complicated,,

  86. J.... C....

    Awesome. BTW, "Like" Guitarscapes on Facebook.

    S.... L....

    Omg...25 years-ish and I thought the same thing. I always thought it was a lazy lyric lol.

  89. R.... H....

    Great song.  I heard some of it in "Heckler" and am happy I found it here on UT.
    Everyone can relate to this song.  On a certain level these are the words of most teenagers entering high school.  We learn the hard way that most people don't see or care about our pain.
