They call you Jezebel
Whenever we walk in
You're going straight to hell
For wanted acts of sin, they say
And that I'll have to pay
But I need you just this way
They call you Jezebel
For what you like to wear
You're morally unwell
They say you never care for me
But what they fail to see
Is that your games are the key
Open their eyes to the beauty
Open their hearts to the fun
Open their minds to the idea
That you don't own someone
They call you Jezebel
Whenever men walk by
They say that they can tell
The longing in your eyes is real
And how you really feel
But they can't see your appeal
Jezebel
Jezebel... Jezebel...
Ce d?mon qui br?lait mon c?ur
Cet ange qui s?chait mes pleurs
C'?tait toi, Jezebel, c'?tait toi.
Ces larmes transperc?es de joie,
Jezebel, c'?tait toi... Jezebel, c'?tait toi...
Mais l'amour s'est an?anti.
Tout s'est ?croul? sur ma vie,
?crasant, pi?tinant, emportant mon c?ur,
Jezebel... Mais pour toi,
Je ferais le tour de la terre,
J'irais jusqu'au fond des enfers.
O? es-tu ? Jezebel, o? es-tu ?
Les souvenirs que l'on croit fan?s
Sont des ?tres vivants
Avec des yeux de morts vibrants encore de pass?
Mais mon c?ur est crev? d'obsession.
Il bat en r?p?tant
Tout au fond de moi-m?me
Ce mot que j'aime,
Ton nom...
Jezebel... Jezebel...
Mais l'amour s'est an?anti.
Tout s'est ?croul? sur ma vie,
?crasant, pi?tinant, emportant mon c?ur
Jezebel... Mais pour toi,
Je ferais le tour de la terre,
J'irais jusqu'au fond des enfers
En criant sans r?pit,
Jour et nuit,
Jezebel... Jezebel...
(Jett-Laguna)
I ain't gonna fool around
I just know what you tried to do
An you know it gets me down
'Cause I really trusted you
I don't wanna see ya
Comin' round here no more
And I don't wanna see
Your face around here no more
It was such a sneak attack
That's not the way to treat a friend
Everytime I turned my back you got off
But that's all gonna end, right now
I don't wanna see ya
Hangin' round here no more
And I don't wanna see ya
Slippin' through my back door
So you'd better go now
You'd better go now
You'd better go right now
You'd better go now
You'd better go now
You'd better go right now
Now, now, now, goodbye
I don't wanna see your face around here no more
I don't wanna hear your voice
Around here no more
I don't wanna see you
Comin' (Hangin') round here no more
I don't wanna see you
Hangin' round here no more
I don't wanna see your face
Around here no more
I ain't gonna close my eyes
I know just what you'd love to do
It's no good to apologize
'Cause honey, you an me are through
Goodbye
You try to ace me
And I don't wanna see your face
Around this place no more
'Cause it's a bad thing you done
You're tryin' to wreck my fun
And I don't want cha here no more
Get out, Jezebel, no more
Jezebel
If ever a devil was born
Without a pair of horns
It was you, Jezebel, it was you
If ever an angel fell
Jezebel, it was you
Jezebel, it was you
If ever a pair of eyes
Promised me paradise
Deceiving me, grieving me
Leaving me blue
It was you, Jezebel, it was you
If ever a devil's plan
Was made to torment man
It was you, Jezebel, it was you
Could be better had I never known
A lover such as you
Forsaking dreams and all
For the siren call of your arms
Like a demon, love possessed me
You upset me constantly
What evil star is mine
That my fate's design should be
If ever a pair of eyes
Promised me paradise
Deceiving, believing, believing you
It was you, Jezebel, it was you
If ever a devil was born
Without a pair of horns
It was you, night and day, every way

To think of my task is chilling.
To know I was carefully building the mask I was wearing for two years, swearing I'd tear it off.
I've sat in the dark explaining to myself that I'm straining too hard for feelings I ought to find easily.
Called myself Jezebel.
I don't believe.
Before I say that the vows we made weigh like a stone in my heart.
Family is family, don't let this tear us apart.
You lie there, an innocent baby.
I feel like the thief who is raiding your home, entering and breaking and taking in every room.
I know your feelings are tender and that inside you the embers still glow.
But I'm a shadow, I'm only a bed of blackened coal.
Call myself Jezebel for wanting to leave.
I'm not saying I'm replacing love for some other word to describe the sacred tie that bound me to you.
I'm just saying we've mistaken one for thousands of words.
And for that mistake, I've caused you such pain that I damn that word.
I've no more ways to hide that I'm a desolate and empty, hollow place inside.
I'm not saying I'm replacing love for some other word to describe the sacred tie that bound me to you.
I'm not saying love's a plaything.
No, it's a powerful word, inspired by strong desire to bind myself to you.
How I wish that we never had tried to be man and his wife, to weave our lives into a blindfold over both our eyes.
Who's seen jezebel?
She was born to be the woman i would know
And hold like the breeze
Half as tight as both our eyes closed
Who's seen jezebel?
She went walking where the cedars line the road
Her blouse on the ground
Where the dogs were hungry, roaming
Saying, "wait, we swear
We'll love you more and wholly
Jezebel, it's we, we that you are for
Only"
Who's seen jezebel?
She was born to be the woman we could blame
Make me a beast half as brave
I'd be the same
Who's seen jezebel?
She was gone before i ever got to say
"lay here my love
You're the only shape i'll pray to, jezebel"
Who's seen jezebel?
Will the mountain last as long as i can wait
Wait like the dawn
How it aches to meet the day
Who's seen jezebel?
She was certainly the spark for all i've done
The window was wide
She could see the dogs come running
Saying, "wait, we swear
We'll love you more and wholly
Jezebel, it's we, we that you are for
(Shanklin)
If ever a devil was born
without a pair of horns it was you
Jezebel it was you
if ever a pair of eyes promised paradise
it was you
Jezebel it was you
if ever a devil's plan was made to torment man,
it was you
decieving me, grieving me, leaving me blue
Jezebel it was you
if ever a devil was born
without a pair of horns it was you
Jezebel it was you
if ever a pair of eyes promised paradise
it was you
Jezebel it was you
if ever a devil's plan was made to torment man,
decieving me, grieving me, leaving me blue,
Jezebel it was you
even had I never known a lover such as you
forsaking dreams and goals
for the silent scorn of your charms
Jezebel
if ever a devil's plan was made to torment man
decieving me, grieving me, leaving me blue
Jezebel it was you
night and day
every way
oh Jezebel
Jezebel
First glimpse, instant attraction
She acted as if my interest was a common reaction
Took satisfaction in knowin she was beautiful
She twisted up the blessing and she used it as a tool
Of manipulation, yet I was blinder at aim
She was very athletic, but yet excelled at the mind game
Lame excuse, but it's the truth, come on, I mean
I was young and naive and would've believed anything
When it came to sweetheart, she had me wrapped
Around her little finger and my mind was tapped
But none the less, I'm the fault obviously
I was confused and chose stupidity over patiently waiting
I mean how could I not see that tryin to
fill a God-sized void with her
Would only leave me empty, but I did it
And like a stupid human I fell
By the way, what's her name
I think they call her Jezebel
Jezebel, who? Jezebel, man, who is she, what is she?
Man, it's hard to tell
Jezebel, who? Jezebel, come on, what is she about?
Second glimpse, still attracted, but I'm not quite sure
Been playin games with Jezebel, but now I question what for
Before, it was a motivation, now, it's not clear
Now I'm askin myself, Reuben, who's the one at fault here
See, I'm the fool so why do I remain
In a relationship with all to loose, yet nothing to gain
Except headache, heartache, and an occasional where you been
Pssssssst, Jezebel, where'd you hear that (from a friend)
Frontin Godliness, I say hey miss, you're posin
You love material things, but you're favorite's sheepskin clothin
So then what can I say, her charm fades by the day
And I'm askin the Good Lord, whatever twisted me to stay
Straight for a moment, now it's time to let go
Though my willpower's weak, man, there's one thing that I know
That greater is he that's in me than he who's in this world
and it wasn't the he in me that hooked it up with this girl
Life must go on, the dawn of a new day was risin
I opened up my eyes and then I started realizin
That my vision was blurred so there will be no third glimpse
After two and a half, I think I came to my sense
So with this, I think it's time that we parted
And dismiss somethin we should never started
So miss, I guess I'll say farewell
Jezebel wasn't born with a silver spoon in her mouth
She probably had less than every one of us
But when she knew how to walk she knew
How to bring the house down
Can't blame her for her beauty
She wins with her hands down
Jezebel, what a belle
Looks like a princess in her new dress
How did you get that
Do you really want to know, she said
It would seem she's on her way
It's more, more than just a dream
She put on her stockings and shoes
Had nothing to lose - she said it was worth it
Reach for the top
And the sun is gonna shine
Every winter was a war she said
I want to get what's mine
Jezebel Jezebel
Won't try to deny where she came from
You can see it in her pride
And the raven in her eyes
Try show her a better way
She'll say you don't know what you've been missing
And by the time she blinks you know she won't be listening
Reach for the top she said
And the sun is gonna shine
Every winter was a war she said
I give him love the best I can
But you don't seem to understand
It's not always deep
But it's always true
And he does not belong to you
Hey I do not forgive and I do not forget
I will fight for love until the death
Jezebel, save your charms
He'll be back here in my arms
Oh how quickly you forget
He is not yours yet
He is not yours not yet
Gonna throw on this cotton dress
Put lilac scent on the back of my neck
Walk barefoot down that mountainside
Straight to your door girl you can't hide
'Cause I do not forgive and I do not forget
I will fight for love until the death
Standing out in the pourin' rain
Callin' out my lover's name
I know he won't leave me in the cold
Send my baby home
(Jett-Laguna)
I ain't gonna fool around
I just know what you tried to do
An you know it gets me down
'Cause I really trusted you
I don't wanna see ya
Comin' round here no more
And I don't wanna see
Your face around here no more

That's not the way to treat a friend
Everytime I turned my back you got off

Hangin' round here no more
And I don't wanna see ya
Slippin' through my back door
So you'd better go now
You'd better go now
You'd better go right now
You'd better go now
You'd better go now
You'd better go right now
Now, now, now, goodbye
I don't wanna see your face around here no more
I don't wanna hear your voice
Around here no more
I don't wanna see you
Comin' (Hangin') round here no more
I don't wanna see you
Hangin' round here no more
I don't wanna see your face
Around here no more
I ain't gonna close my eyes
I know just what you'd love to do
It's no good to apologize
'Cause honey, you an me are through
Goodbye
You try to ace me
And I don't wanna see your face
Around this place no more
'Cause it's a bad thing you done
You're tryin' to wreck my fun
And I don't want cha here no more
Yo, look, look, look
They call her jezebel
you might find her in your neigbourhood
Always in some shit
Up to no good
constant boastin' braging to her friends
Juiced every boy in the ends
Gettin' outta school
She would turant every day
Always on the link
Different boy every day
Missed mathematics she was doing acrobatics
But not gym class
She was gettin' doggy fast
Yo, they call her jezebel
Friends call her sket behind her back
She never knew the clock
She was born of track
Tight top short skirt thinks she's to nice
Hates love but she's been deep in twice
Pass with, whoe can't keep her legs closed
Always on the creep
Now she's in too deep
Now she face's neglect, abuse and rape
man said that he'd kill her
if she tryed to escape
[Chorus]
Whats your name?
I've seen you about
I think your tromp (Boom ting)
I really hope your not a grim
I really hope your not a jezzy, jezzy
Where you from?
Hot stuff (Buff ting)
I really hope your not a grim
I really hope your not a jezzy, jezzy
I've seen you around
I think your tromp (Boom ting)
I really hope your not a grim
I really hope your not a jezzy, jezzy
Where you from?
Hot stuff (Boom ting)
I really hope your not grim
I really hope your not a jezebel
You might find her at a house rave
For the fith time
She's gettin' whind from behind
Had a bit of drink
So she's acting kinda slow
She came with Natasha
But she's leavin with Joe
Ricky loves jezzy but jezzy loves willy
Ricky means well but Ricky aint got a thing
Joe's got a name
And jezzy loves fame
She wants a man to show
So it's all about Joe
They call her jezebel
On her way to get wocked out
Get battery
And get kicked out
Jezzy werent expecting more then before
What could she say
She just did it anyway
Messed up caught a kinda STD
Gonorrhoea, Herpes, no VD
Left bitter, left angry, left vex
But still loves sex
Passed it on to the next
[Chorus]
Pretty but
Aint got a brain
Got no shame
Got juiced on the train
Went from daddy's little girl
To daddy's heart attack
House reck a side
She could never go back
Raised in the church
Not knowing anything
then Learned about boys
Ruined every thing
Aged 16
She was never full grown
She was in a family
Now she's got one of her own
Two kids
Even worse
Two little girls
Two more of her
Thats two jezebel's
Two fatherless kids
One single mum
No longer young
But the boys still come
Yo, wishin' she could take it back to the old school
And make better choice's
Oh what a fool
But all by her side
But she wonder man
Only if she was six years younger
I ain't gonna fool around
I know just what you tried to do
An you know it gets me down
'Cause I really trusted you
I don't wanna see ya
Comin' round here no more
And I don't wanna see
Your face around here no more
It was such a sneak attack
That's not the way to treat a friend
Every time I turned my back you got off
But that's all gonna end, right now
I don't wanna see ya
Hangin' round here no more
And I don't wanna see ya
Slippin' through my back door
So you'd better go now
You'd better go now
You'd better go right now
You'd better go now
You'd better go now
You'd better go right now
Now, now, now, goodbye
I don't wanna see your face
Around here no more
I don't wanna hear your voice
Around here no more
I don't wanna see you
Comin' (Hangin') round here no more
I don't wanna see you
Hangin' round here no more
I don't wanna see your face

Goodbye

Around here no more
I don't wanna see you
Hangin' round here no more
Get out, Jezebel
She's on the prowl,
She wants it all and she'll stop for nothing.
Everyone knows,
She well aware of the fact
That her self respect was long lost
On her search for something.
First in line,
To give iut up to the guy at the bar.
Buying two drink at a time
One track mind
It's disgusting that she thinks she's got it all figured out.
But what she doesn't know,
Is that to is she's just another one of them.
Girls like you are a dime a dozen.
Just leave, just leave!
We're all better off without your disease, Disease!
Take your pick from the willing but you'll never get me.
It's obvious the stage is all that you see.
Take you pick from the willing but you'll never get me.
Just go!
The Innocent look on her face is all fake
She's worn out and worn down,
From all the one night stands.
Never any interest in a real man,
Or a love that will last.
Oh what a waste!
What a waste of a beautiful face (a beautiful face)
Was it the way she was raised,
Or just the terrible choices she's chosen to make?
Every nght it's all the same.
She steals another heart so she can drop another name.
Oh, what a shame!
You're all the same,
You're all the same.
All dressed up in purple and pink,
She'll so whatever it takes to get to VIP.
She thinks everyone want to see her down her knees.
But what she doesn't know is
Everyone just wants her to leave!
Just leave, just leave!
We're all better off without your disease, Disease!
Take your pick from the willing but you'll never get me.
It's obvious the stage is all that you see.
Take you pick from the willing but you'll never get me.
I can feel her staring at me from across the room.
She's got the worst intentions
And she smells like trouble and cheap perfume.
She's got one thing on her mind,
Her target locked in sight.
She never gets denied,
But tonight she'll be surprised.
She knows every word to every song I write.
So let's have a sing-a-long,
Hello, hello and goodbye!
One track mind
You want to check me off the list?
Yeah right!
The stage is all you see,
Her throat is soft, her lips are red
Her thighs are white, her heart is dead
Jezabell
Red rope burns around her wrists
Her blood is cold a serpent's kiss
Do you love your whore? I like to hear you beg
She's crouched down in the corner with her hands between her legs
Jezabell
Broken glass and dirty needles
Soul erosion truth
Electric god our superman
Found dead in a telephone booth
Shards of teeth ice pick abortions
Orgasmic death, so warm
Let's die screamin' black goat semen
I can't hear you whisper "conform"
Hearts will stop and brain cells pop
Apocalyptic sunshine high
She screams bloody murder as they chop off her fingers
So this is how it feels to die
But its O.K.
She was screamin' bout conspiracy
Talkin' bout talkin' sides
I was masturbating just contemplating
Strontium-90
Removed from milk
As curious an entity
As bullshit writ on silk
Cancer's airborne now
Do you hear the sound?
I was hanging out the washing, man
As the rain come falling down
Now the grass lies snakes
Has crowds of iodine and fire
On Jezebel's luminescence
I swear you are my heart's desire
Bomb proof the embassy
Give infanticide a cemetary
You looked so good on the late night news
With your curtain and your deed
Yeah, I love you like a violin
I'll hunt you like an amputee
But I ain't gonna lose my skin
I would love to see you again, again
I... I would love to see you again
I... I would love to see you again
You wrote me a letter
And this is how it went:
It said, 'We're backing up the supply lines
The first division's crossin' the Nile
Through the rushes and up the side
And into the machine gun fire
Tell me that this is not a dream
I've become a steel spring
Uranium tips night vision cruise missles
Gonna cut the belly out of the sky
I rode an Abrams
We stopped in Bethlehem
They made the answers here
But there weren't so many questions then
And there I shot a woman
In a headscarf with my gun
She said 'Does my bomb look big in this?
Am I the only one?'
I was in the blitz you know
My heart was young and true
I had a Caesarean, but it was not any use
Oh calamity! Oh the vanity!
You can't ride a thunderbolt
You can't claim an enemy
See, there ain't nothing here
Except a darkness
I ain't gonna fail no test
I gave my dowry to a finger on a switch
Turn me to a fine pink mist
But I ain't nothing but a stranger still
If I'm even anyone at all
But I ain't gonna lose my skin
I would love to see you again
I... I would love to see you again
I... I would love to see you again
But that ain't gonna happen now
It's no use to pretend
How many people gonna lie?
How many people gonna die?
What's best for the Western and the greed?
Kill 'em all? Let 'em breed?
Another bomb for every atom you injure
Meet the Devil with extended ring finger
Saying 'thou shalt not kill'
But I'm damned if I don't
So I'm thinking I will
Yeah, Dan Pearl
They cut your head off on TV
But I am not a camera
A man is not an effigy
But still all this horror
Has made a trench out of my soul
I'm gonna have to fall in love with a blind girl
So she will not see the shame that I know
Oh, new scar
You have raised the bar
Goliath rides an oil drum raft
Through a cyclone in my ear drums
You don't want a tyrant, we're sure
You'd prefer civil war
And I am gonna lose my skin
And I ain't gonna see you again
Again
I... I would love to see you again
Well stop, great God, stop there and listen, listen to
the story 'bout Jezebel.
Her sinswere so wicked Jehovah got angry, her soul went
leapin’ and jumpin’ into Hell.
Way back yonder in the olden days, John told Jezebel to
borrow her ways, said her evil deeds had ruined the
land and repent for the kingdom of God was at hand.
She got mad at John
‘cause he told her ‘bout the gospel, told her servants
to boil him in oil.
Well they tell me
God looked from the windows of the heavens, spoke one
word and the oil wouldn’t boil.
He raised his hand, creation trembled, stamped his feet
and time stood still, raised his
voice, looked down and thundered “John! Go do my will."
You got to go to judgment, stand trial.
Then they tell me John moved through the power of the
gospel, told Jezebel her time was nigh.
On the book of life, her days were ended, her time run
out and she had to die.
Well they tell me God walked his footsteps thunderin’,
he moved his head and his eyes flashed fire, clapped
his hands and death come jumpin’, Jehovah was angry,
somebody had to die.
You got to go to judgment, stand trial.
Then Death come knockin' on Jezebel's door and said
"Come on woman ain’t you ready to go?
Of your evil deeds God’s done got tired, you got to go
to judgment, stand trial."
Then Death come leapin’ she jumped into Hell, great God
Almighty I heard them tell.
Nine days she lay in Jerusalem’s streets, her flesh was
too filthy for the dogs to eat.
You got to go to judgment, stand trial.
"Jezebel, mind God's talking, says he's tired of your
evil ways."
If ever a devil was born
Without a pair of horns
It was you, Jezebel, it was you
If ever an angel fell
Jezebel, it was you
Jezebel, it was you
If ever a pair of eyes
Promised me paradise
Deceiving me, grieving me
Leaving me blue
It was you, Jezebel, it was you
If ever a devil's plan
Was made to torment man
It was you, Jezebel, it was you
Could be better had I never known
A lover such as you
Forsaking dreams and all
For the siren call of your arms
Like a demon, love possessed me
You upset me constantly
What evil star is mine
That my fate's design should be
If ever a pair of eyes
Promised me paradise
Deceiving, believing, believing you
It was you, Jezebel, it was you
If ever a devil was born
Without a pair of horns
It was you, night and day, every way
The mountans
at her back
The horizon
gnawing at her throat
Slowing the butchers you planted
bloom and swing the blades
Fumble with the ropes
As the twilight
takes its place
Gaze at the witch boiling inside
Broken nails
Grip feels frail
In sheets she'll sail
Close your eyes oh friend
I'll show you how
they did you
I'll make them fail
The scorn you left her
At pleasure's door
You fucking bastard
Twenty-five miles to go
am I almost there
Seems like this road ain't never going nowhere
And I can't be born again
But I will take the blame
And I will take all your pain
And I will wear the stain
I know it can't be the same
Call me Jezebel
Call me if you will
My name is Jezebel
And I'm sorry still
When we were born we
were promised innocence
But now I must be growing old
I never dreamed I'd leave the fingerprints
To all the stories I've been told
but I might bear the shame
If I said I love you just the same
And I don't know why I came
I know it can't be the same
Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
Mother Mary, Holy Host
Did I do wrong...tels me
Will I die young
Do I belong
If ever a devil was born
without a pair of horns it was you
Jezebel it was you
if ever a pair of eyes promised paradise
it was you
Jezebel it was you
if ever a devil's plan was made to torment man,
it was you
decieving me, grieving me, leaving me blue
Jezebel it was you
if ever a devil was born
without a pair of horns it was you
Jezebel it was you
if ever a pair of eyes promised paradise
it was you
Jezebel it was you
if ever a devil's plan was made to torment man,
decieving me, grieving me, leaving me blue,
Jezebel it was you
even had I never known a lover such as you
forsaking dreams and goals
for the silent scorn of your charms
Jezebel
if ever a devil's plan was made to torment man
decieving me, grieving me, leaving me blue
Jezebel it was you
night and day
every way
oh Jezebel
Jezebel
Jezebel
Bad ideas, being a don't
Blacking out, silicone
Adrenaline rush, trashy girls
Broken promises, cheap motels
Shotgun weddings, latex
Heavy bass, rough sex
Cabana boys in high heels
Beatbox, glitter, shady deals
Is that a halo around your golden hair
or the devil in disguise
Do you really wanna be the other girl - Miss Jezebel
cuz it really turns you on
Do you really wanna be the one who breaks me Jezebel
You're too late I'm already gone
I'm already gone, I'm already gone, I'm already gone (3x)
Blasphemy, bum fights
3am on school nights
Shirley temples, chain smoking
Champagne and pancakes, over indulging
Chaos, life, giving bad directions
Tattoos, twins, missed connections
Red lipstick on bottle blondes
Mama dukes, baby gone wrong
Been down to hell and back, all black and blue
Stronger than ever, if you only knew
Don't care anymore, yes you can have him now
Shaking my head as head as he takes you down
Do you really wanna be the other girl - Miss Jezebel
cuz it really turns you on
Do you really wanna be the one who breaks me Jezebel
You're too late I'm already gone
Black leather dominatrix suit
Crack your whip, make him lick your boots
Playing a game you're gonna lose
You could never fill my shoes
Take it, he's yours
take what's yours
Take it, he's yours
take what's yours
Is that a halo around your golden hair
or the devil in disguise
Do you really wanna be the other girl - Miss Jezebel
cuz it really turns you on
Do you really wanna be the one who breaks me Jezebel
You're too late I'm already gone
I'm already gone, I'm already gone, I'm already gone (3x)
If ever the devil was born
Without a pair of horns
It was you
Jezebel it was you
If ever an angel fell
Jezebel
It was you.
Jezebel it was you
If ever a pair of eyes
Promised paradise
Deceiving me, grieving me
Leavin' me blue.
Jezebel, it was you
If ever the devil's plan
Was made to torment man
It was you,
Jezebel it was you
If ever a pair of eyes
Promised paradise
Deceiving me, grieving me
Leavin' me blue
Jezebel it was you
If ever the devil's plan
Was made to torment man
It was you
Night an' day, every way
Got a Jezebel,
I've got a Jezebel,
I've got a Jezebel,
Down at the wishing well,
Where I threw my coin,
And she started toying
With me... yes indeed.
She gives me dirty love,
She gives me dirty love,
She gives me dirty love,
That's what I'm thinking of.
And any better man,
Wouldn't understand
The dirt she'd do.
You know I tried my best,
I tried to pass the test.
I tried to clean the mess,
Left by all the rest.
Of those who've come before,
I knew they'd want some more and
Man, that's a plan that I really can't stand.
I couldn't leave her there,
I didn't leave her there,
Oh I couldn't leave her there.
But I wouldn't dare
To take her from her dream
(Ahhhhhhhh, Ahhhhhhhhh, Ahhhhhhhhh, Ahhhhhhhhh,
Whhoooooooo, Whoooooooo, Whooooooooo, Whooooooooo)
Jezebel,
There's a ringing in my ear from when I called you,
Got this tiny little fear that I won't see you,
When that sun goes down again.
Jezebel,
I've got honey on my hands from when I held you,
Got this tiny rubber band to wrap around your finger,
When that sun goes down again,
Whoooaaa,
When that sun goes down again.
Now the moon is on my side,
But that's not what I need,
I'm laughing through the night,
But that don't mean so much to me,
This girl is out of sight,
As anyone can see,
As anyone can see,
Alright.
Jezebel, (Jezebel)
There's a ringing in my ear,
Oh, Jezebel, (Jezebel)
There it goes again my dear,
I've got to see you, (Jezebel)
when that sun goes down again,
Whoooaaa,
When that sun goes down again.
(Oooooohhh, Oooohhhh, Oooooohhh, Oooooohhhh,
Oooooohhhh, Oooooohhh, Ooooooohhh)
Now the moon is on my side,
But that's not what I need,
I'm laughing through the night,
But that don't mean so much to me,
Girl you're out of sight,
As anyone can see,
As anyone can see,
Alright.
Jezebel,
I've got honey on my hands from when I held you,
Got this tiny rubber band to wrap around your finger,
When that sun goes down again, (Jezebel)
There's a ringing in my ear,
My Jezebel, (Jezebel)
There it goes again my dear,
I've got to see you, (Jezebel)
When that sun goes down again, (Jezebel)
When that sun goes down again,
Whooaaa,
Oh Jezebel, you can't just tell them how you feel
They see the world in black and white and red
And Jezebel, it's just as well, what's done is done
You'll never change the thoughts inside their heads
Oh Jezebel, with every cell you reached for love
And found it in an old familiar face
And Jezebel, it hurts like hell but then again
Where would you be without love's warm embrace?
Wear it like a crown
Don't let them take you down
Hey Jezebel, you mustn't dwell on small details
There'll always be some battles you can't win
But Jezebel, you'll live to tell and love again
Your pride's your gift and love your only sin
Wear them like a crown
Your scarlet hand-me-downs
Hey Jezebel, they say you fell so far so fast
You burned your angel wings on your way down
Ah Jezebel, you've been to hell and heaven too
And love's the only refuge that you've found
