Lyrics of Jezebel by Sade
intro
Jezebel wasn't 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
Can't blame her for her beauty
She wins with her hands down
verse
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 she's on her way
It's more, more than just a dream
She put on her stockings and shoes
Had nothing to lose, she said it was worth it
chorus
Reach for the top
And the sun is gonna shine
Every winter was a war she said
I want to get what's mine
verse
Jezebel, Jezebel
Won't 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
She'll say you don't know what you've been missing
And by the time she blinks you know She won't be listening
outro
Reach for the top she said
And the sun is gonna shine
Every winter was a war she said
I want to get what's mine
