Nobody's Baby Now Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

I've searched the holy books 

I tried to unravel the mystery of Jesus Christ, the Savior 

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, 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 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 

Well, she's moving through me, even now 

I don't know why, 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
