Cage The Elephant - Sweetie Little Jean lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Sweetie Little Jean, where did u go?

Everyone's been searchin' high and low

And ur mother's worried sick

Dearest daddy lost his grip

While the whole world's watchin'

Candlelight vigils bein' held in silence

On the channel four

And they've knocked on every door

Every place you've been before

(Pre-Chorus)

How long will we let it go?

I think we should just let go

(Chorus)

I, I want u back (back)

Let's get back

Lay my weary head against ur bones

Where all my troubles will be dead and gone

(Pre-Chorus)

(Verse 2)

Has melancholy taken u for good?

You know that I would save u if I could

Watched ur laughter turn to tears

Then u vanished in thin air

Well we pinned ur missin' persons picture up

On every motha luvin' post

How's it feel to be a ghost?

You're the one I love the most

(Chorus Variation)

I, I want u back (back)

Let's get back

Lay my weary head against ur breast

Where all my troubles will be laid to rest

(Verse 3)

I pushed and I pulled 'til I pushed u aside

Now all that is left are the tears that u cried

I'm sorry love for all of the damage done

I only hope that someday to be back beside u

(Chorus 1)

(Pre-Chorus)
