Nobody's Baby Now Songtext / Lyric

I'll search the holy books

I'll try to unravel the mystery of Jesus Christ the Savior

I read the poets and the analysts

Searched through the books on human behavior



I've traveled this world round

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 me

She lives in my blood and skin



Her wild feral stare, her dark hair

Her little 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 she's nobody's baby now.



This is her dress, i loved best

With the blue quilted violets across the breast

And these are my many letters

Torn to peices by long-fingered hands

I was her cruel-hearted man



And though I try to lay her ghost down

But 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
