John Reuben - Jezebel lyrics
[John Reuben - Jezebel lyrics]
First glimpse, instant attraction
She acted as if my interest
Was a common reaction
Took satisfaction in knowing
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
Trying to fill a God-sized void
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 playing games with Jezebel
But now I question what for
Before, it was a motivation, now
It’s not clear
Now I’m asking 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 posing you love material things
But you’re favorite’s sheepskin clothing
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
Jezebel (Who?) Jezebel
Come on, who is she, what is she?
Man, it’s hard to tell
Jezebel (Who?) Jezebel
Man, who is she, what is she?
Man, it’s hard to tell
Jezebel (Who?) Jezebel
Come on, who is she, what is she?
Man, it’s hard to tell
Jezebel (Who?) Jezebel
Come on, what is she about?
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 something we should never started
So miss, I guess I’ll say farewell
One last time for the books
Her name was what?
Jezebel (Who?) Jezebel
Come on, who is she, what is she?
Man, it’s hard to tell
Jezebel (Who?) Jezebel
Man, who is she, what is she?
Man, it’s hard to tell
Jezebel (Who?) Jezebel
Come on, who is she, what is she?
Man, it’s hard to tell
Jezebel (Who?) Jezebel
