These lyrics show the ambiguity of a man’s love for a woman.
The song could easily be interpreted as a praise of the qualities of a woman loved by a man. With all his intellectual capacities and wisdom, he cannot understand how this woman is not in an amorous relationship now. This suggests that he...
[Verse 1]
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 behaviour
[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus 2]
But there are some things even 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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus 3]
And though I've tried to lay her ghost down
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
