Jezebel
Benjah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feels like she's stolen
Walking down the beach that day never thought
I'd see you but I saw
Soaking in the rays, my dream girls had no flaws
Stole my breath destiny
My heart doesn't stop but them I'm raised
Waited to embrace
It's like this was always meant to be
Can't let a girl stay close to me
Just gotta let her know
Feels like she's stolen, stolen my heart away
Feels like she's stolen, stolen my heart away
Feels like she's stolen, stolen my heart away
Feels like she's stolen, stolen my heart away
It's like i lost control right now
She took me by surprise that day
Never thought id be knocked my feet
Consumed i was to pray
Blinded by the seas
Gave me all of my desires
Focused on the sings you say
Know i burn like fire
Chasing her beauty
It's like this was always meant to be
gotta get her far away from me
Just gotta let her go
Feels like she's stolen, stolen my heart away
Feels like she's stolen, stolen my heart away
Feels like she's stolen, stolen my heart away
Feels like she's stolen, stolen my heart away
It's like i lost control right now
What do i do about oh oh oh
What do i do about oh oh oh
What do i do about oh oh oh
What do I, it's like i lost control right now
Jezebel my love, I've got to let you go
Because you're not my first love, you're not my first love
Jezebel my love, I've got to let you go
Because you're not my first love
Feels like she's stolen, stolen my heart away
Feels like she's stolen, stolen my heart away
Feels like she's stolen, stolen my heart away
Feels like she's stolen, stolen my heart away
It's like i lost control right now
What do i do about oh oh oh (What do I do)
What do i do about oh oh oh (What do I do)
What do i do about oh oh oh (What do I do)
What do i, it's like i lost control right now
What do i do about oh oh oh (What do I do)
What do i do about oh oh oh (What do I do)
What do i do about oh oh oh (What do I do)
What do i, it's like i lost control right now
The song "Jezebel" by Benjah is about falling in love with someone who seems perfect, but realizing that they are not the right person for you. The first verse describes the singer's initial attraction to the woman, who seemed flawless and "stole" his breath away. However, he soon realizes that she is not the right person for him and he needs to let her go, symbolized by the repeated refrain "jezebel my love, I've got to let you go because you're not my first love." The song's chorus features the repeated phrase "feels like she's stolen, stolen my heart away," emphasizing the singer's conflicting emotions of falling for someone but knowing that it is not right.
The song's overall message is about recognizing the difference between infatuation and true love, and knowing when it is time to let go of a relationship that is not meant to be. The repeated use of the phrase "lost control" indicates that the singer's feelings for the woman are overwhelming and confusing, and he realizes that he needs to regain control of his emotions and move on.

@ShadowMurderaMusic If you watch the video...its more than obvious that he's not making her a love song, he's illustrating how she stole his heart and is distracting him from God ultimately

instead of him naming the song Jezebel he should have named it Delilah

@MarkusFanous ......thank you for clearing that up for me. I totally missed that. You wouldn't happen to know which Jezebel (which book in the Bible) would you?
