Nobody's Baby Now Lyrics & Tabs by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Nobody's Baby Now
guitar chords lyrics
I've searched the Holy Books
I tried to unravel the mystery of Jesus Christ, the Saviour
I've read the poets and the analysts
Searched through the books on human behavior
I traveled this world around
For an answer that refused to be found
I don't know why and I don't know how
But she's nobody's baby now
I loved her then and I guess I love her still
Hers is the face I see when a certain mood moves in
She lives in my blood and skin, her wild feral stare, her dark hair
Her winter lips as cold as stone, yeah, I was her man
But there are some things love won't allow
I held her hand but I don't hold it now
I don't know why and I don't know how
But there are some things love won't allow
I held her hand but I don't hold it now
I don't know why and I don't know how
But she's nobody's baby now
Now, this is her dress that I loved best
With the blue quilted violets across the breast
And these are my many letters torn to pieces
By her long-fingered hand, I was her cruel-hearted man
And though I've tried to lay her ghost down
For she's moving through me, even now
I don't know why and I don't know how
But she's nobody's baby now
She's nobody's baby now
Nobody's baby now
She's nobody's baby now
