My Lovely Jezebel
She attracts dark rumours Travels in blue and other humours Each time she walks in the room Brings in much more than you'd assume Ooo, I looked in her eyes and out through that window I fell She's My Lovely Jezebel She neglects you and then ransacks you so very well She suspects your sweet confection When you talk in contradictions Then she walks without detection Overrules all your objections Ooo, I looked in her eyes and through that window I fell She's My Lovely Jezebel Man is miserable ape and sad pile of sticks He comes out swinging, gets in a few licks The longest of drumrolls for the shortest of tricks So she attracts bad intentions She distracts all my attention With her ways and her wild inventions The facts of life they forgot to mention Ooo, I looked in her eyes and down through that window I fell She's My Lovely Jezebel She neglects you and then ransacks you so very well Aus Songtexte Mania
