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
Reach for the top
And the sun is gonna shine
Every winter was a war she said
I want to get what's mine
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
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
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
And the sun is gonna shine
Every winter was a war she said
I want to get what's mine
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
And the sun is gonna shine
Every winter was a war she said
I want to get what's mine

beautiful song i think its one of her best
A voice like honey and such great musical arrangement. Definitely a memorable addition to the album
what a beautilful song !! is it talking about a prostitute ?
ahhh well now that i re read the lyrics not quite but it does sound like it

mjmee , yes it is.
wow her voice is soo soothing!.
and the beat sounds sexual in a way but also very romantic.
i think the song is about a prostitute and a bad woman combined. because the name jezebel is what it means
but i still love it
its about a woman who had a tough life and she had to fight for everything she has. You may not like her, she may be a "Bitch", you may not like her methods. But she is effective and strong in her way.
@mikeychan I agree with your interpretation. Ironically, she probably has a strong compass in spite of what her name infers. Sade is an intelligent songstress.
