Hey Jezebel
Hey Jezebel: Defiant Southern Resilience
Lyrics
Don't you look pretty
Expressing admiration for the appearance of the addressed person.
Dressed to the nines
Dressed very elegantly.
Comfortably sitting
Sitting comfortably and confidently.
On your gold mine
Metaphorically referencing the person's wealth or success.
Blood red and blonde
Describing the person's hair color and style.
Lipstick and curls
Emphasizing makeup and hairstyle details.
A high-heeled don Juan
Comparing the person to a charming and seductive character.
Come to mess up my world
Suggesting that the person is causing disturbance or trouble.
All of the ladies
Implying that other women are wary of the person.
Are watching their backs
Suggesting that men are interested in the person.
The boys thinking maybe
Speculating on the chances men might have with the person.
They might stand a chance
Implies that the atmosphere around the person is competitive.
Bet every bar you walk in's the same
Suggesting a pattern of behavior associated with the person.
They don't know who you are
People are aware of the person but not familiar with her identity.
But they sure know your name
Highlighting the fame or notoriety of the person.
Hey Jezebel leave mine alone
Directly addressing the person and requesting to stay away.
Ain't no bombshell wrecking my home
Asserting that the addressed person won't cause problems in the speaker's relationship.
He's all I got he's all I want
Stating the exclusivity of the relationship and the speaker's affection for the partner.
Jezebel find someone else
Reiterating the request for the addressed person to find someone else.
Leave mine alone
Re-emphasizing the plea to leave the speaker's relationship alone.
Why'd you come calling
Questioning the reason for the addressed person's presence in that area.
On this side of town
Suggesting that the addressed person has faced difficulties.
A woman who's fallen
Describing the addressed person's ongoing struggles.
And keeps going down
Refusing to engage in a competition with the addressed person.
I won't compete with your dirty work
Rejecting involvement in any malicious actions or schemes.
So get back to the street
Advising the addressed person to leave before facing consequences.
Before you get hurt
Warning the addressed person about potential harm.
Hey Jezebel leave mine alone
Repeating the plea for the addressed person to stay away from the speaker's relationship.
Ain't no bombshell wrecking my home
Reiterating confidence in the relationship's stability.
He's all I got he's all I want
Restating the exclusive bond with the partner.
Jezebel find someone else
Re-emphasizing the plea for the addressed person to find another target.
Leave mine alone
Repeating the request for the addressed person to stay away from the speaker's relationship.
This southern belle is tough as nails
Highlighting the speaker's resilience and strength.
Leave mine alone
Reiterating the plea for the addressed person to leave the speaker's relationship alone.
