I want to be somebody’s baby
I don’t want a child of my own
I was the one who was always strong
And I was always the one left alone
I was the one understanding
And letting the other go free
Now I want to be somebody’s baby
Let somebody worry ’bout me

No,no,no more a shoulder to cry on
My shoulders are wet to the bone
No,no,no a more a friend to rely on
I’m lookin’ for friends of my own
No more a kindly advisor
And no more a worshipping fan
I’m younger and weaker and wiser
With a brand new strategy planned

I wanna be somebody’s baby
I don’t want a child of my own
I was the one who was always strong
And I was always the one left alone
I was the one understanding
And lettin the other go free
Right now I want to be somebodys baby
Let somebody worry ’bout me

I want to be mothered
And fathered
And sistered
And brothered
Its gonna be gruesome and grand
I swear I’ll keep you worried
And sweatin’
And busy
And bothered
You’ll run around wringing your hand
I’ll call you at three in the mornin’
Wailin’ my woes to the sky
I’ll slip out of sight without warnin
And return with a gleam in my eye

I wanna be somebody’s baby
I don’t want a child of my own
I was the one who was always strong
And I was always the one left alone
I was the one understanding
And lettin’ the other go free
Right now
I wanna be somebody’s baby
Let somebody worry ’bout me

I wanna be somebody’s baby
I wanna,I wanna,I wanna,I wanna yeaaaaaaaa
Keep my bed warm
Make me a home
I wanna be somebody’s baby
Give me some strolin
Keep my life smoken
I wanna ,I wanna ,I wanna
I wanna be somebody’s baby
