John Reuben Jezebel Lyrics

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?
