Jezebel (Live 2001) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
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 2]
Jezebel, you're the belle
Won't try to deny where she came from
You can see it in her pride
And the raven in her eyes
Try and 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
[Chorus]
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
I want to get what's mine

[Saxophone solo]

[Outro]
She said I wanna get what's mine
I wanna get what's mine
Yeah, I wanna get what's mine

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
