THE FRATELLIS LYRICS - Jesus Stole My Baby

"Jesus Stole My Baby"



Jesus stole my baby

Jesus stole my girl

He took her away for an hour every sunday

And cut all of her beautiful curls

She was always easy seven days of the week

Now sheʼs a bore and Iʼve seen it before

She thinks it gives her some kind of mystique

Said that she just wantʼs to save me

Said you cant go on the way that you are

She chased all my friends, hurts my brain till it bends

Hides my cigarettes and steals my guitar



And itʼs a long time since she was mine, Pretending I am fine

Another simple boy on the telephone line

And though she is living here with me

I'm aching to be free

She takes it all so god damn seriously



Well Iʼve always been in love with her treasure

But she might as well be locked up in chains

When I ask she says no and I'm feeling so low

I'm bursting from my feet to my brains



Now if i could only talk to this Jesus

Iʼd tell him just how lonely Iʼve been

Iʼd ask him to send home my baby again

So she can see what kinda state Iʼve been in



Jesus stole my baby

So maybe I should steal his

She used to be mine

Now sheʼs so dull and divine

May not be nice but thats the way that it

is

And I'm lost here among the clowns

Jesus men in gowns

All sandals and out of tune guitars

And she talks in terrified tones

Of skeleton bones

Screaming through a mangled microphone



And itʼs a long time since she was mine, Pretending I am fine

Another simple boy on the telephone line

And though she is living here with me

I'm aching to be free

She takes it all so god damn seriously
