Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She attracts dark rumors
Travels in blue and other humors
Each time she walks in the room
Brings in much more than you'd assume
[Verse 2]
Ooh, I looked in her eyes
And through that window I fell
She's my lovely Jezebel
She neglects you and then she ransacks you so very well
[Verse 3]
And she suspects your sweet confection
Know when you talk in contradictions
And then she walks without detection
Overrules all of your objections
[Verse 4]
Ooh, I looked in her eyes
And through that window I fell
She's my lovely Jezebel
[Verse 5]
Her man is a miserable ape and a sad pile of sticks
He comes out swinging, gets in a few licks
The longest of drums rolls for the shortest of tricks
[Verse 6]
And she attracts Bad intentions
She distracts all of my attention
With her ways and her wild inventions
The facts of life they forgot to mention
[Verse 7]
Ooh, I looked in her eyes
And through that window I fell
She's my lovely Jezebel
She neglects you and then she ransacks you so very well
