Cage The Elephant - Sweetie Little Jean Lyrics
(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)
