@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
I give him love the best I can,
But you don't seem to understand.
It's not always deep,
But it's always true and he does not belong to you.
Hey, I do not forgive, and I do not forget.
I will fight for love, until the day
Jezebel, save your charms,
He'll be back here in my arms.
Oh how quickly you forget he's not yours yet.
He is not yours, not yet.
Gonna throw on this cotton dress,
Put lilac scent on the back of my neck.
I'll walk barefoot down that mountain-side,
Straight to your door.
Girl, you can't hide.
Cause I do not forgive,
And I do not forget.
I will fight for love until the day.
Jezebel, save your charms,
He'll be back here in my arms.
Oh how quickly you forget he's not yours yet.
He is not yours, not yet.
Standing out in the pouring rain,
Calling out my lover's name.
I know he won't leave me in the cold,
Send my baby home.
Send my baby home.
Jezebel, save your charms,
He'll be back here in my arms.
Oh how quickly you forget he's not yours yet.
He is not yours, not yet.
But you don't seem to understand.
It's not always deep,
But it's always true and he does not belong to you.
Hey, I do not forgive, and I do not forget.
I will fight for love, until the day
Jezebel, save your charms,
He'll be back here in my arms.
Oh how quickly you forget he's not yours yet.
He is not yours, not yet.
Gonna throw on this cotton dress,
Put lilac scent on the back of my neck.

Straight to your door.
Girl, you can't hide.
Cause I do not forgive,

I will fight for love until the day.
Jezebel, save your charms,
He'll be back here in my arms.
Oh how quickly you forget he's not yours yet.
He is not yours, not yet.
Standing out in the pouring rain,
Calling out my lover's name.
I know he won't leave me in the cold,
Send my baby home.
Send my baby home.
Jezebel, save your charms,
He'll be back here in my arms.
Oh how quickly you forget he's not yours yet.
He is not yours, not yet.

I feel a very Dolly Parton vibe from this song. I like to think it's the sequel to "Jolene" LOL! The song is pretty obvious, she basically saying "He's my man and if you go near him I'll kick your ass!" LOL! I love it! The best song she's come out with since "Single White Female"
