Sade: "Jezebel" Lyrics

Jezebel wasnt 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

Cant 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 shes on her way

Its 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 whats mine



Jezebel, jezebel

Wont 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

Shell say you dont know what youve been missing

And by the time she blinks you know she wont be listening



Reach for the top she said

And the sun is gonna shine

Every winter was a war she said

I want to get whats mine
