Elvis Costello My Lovely Jezebel song lyrics

She attracts dark rumors

And travels in blue and other humors

Each time she walks in the room

Brings in much more than you'd assume

Ooh, I looked in her eyes and through that window I fell

She's my lovely Jezebel

She neglects you and then she ransacks you so very well

And she suspects your sweet confection

Know when you talk in contradictions

And then she walks without detection

Overrules all of your objections

Ooh, I looked in her eyes and through that window I fell

She's my lovely Jezebel

A man is miserable ape and a sad pile of sticks

He comes out swinging, gets in a few licks

The longest of drum rolls for the shortest of tricks

And she attracts mad intentions

She distracts all of my attention

With her ways and her wild inventions

The facts of life they forgot to mention

Ooh, I looked in her eyes and through that window I fell

She's my lovely Jezebel

She neglects you and then she ransacks you so very well
