Verse:

You're a thousand women
All rolled into one;
You play almost any kind of part.
You're a thousand women,
Yet you're really none;
For you can't be human if you haven't got a heart;

Chorus:

Jezebel, I see the devil in your eyes,
But it doesn't matter when you tell those milk and honey lies;
Jezebel, I see an angel in your face,
But it's like a siren that is callin' me to your embrace;
I wish I could hate you,
I wish I could hate you,
And yet it's a feeling I can't define,
I know that I love you,
I know that I love you,
Your heart is a magnet that's forever pulling at mine.
You know so well that you can keep me in your spell,
And I know it, too, for I would die without you, Jezebel.
