Jezebel Lyrics by John Reuben

Jezebel Lyrics

    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
    One last time for the books, her name was what?
