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 adviser and no more a worshiping 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 somebody's baby let somebody worry 'bout me
I want to be mothered and fathered and sistered and brothered
It's 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, yeah
Keep my bed warm make me a home, I wanna be somebody's baby
Give me some strolin' keep my life smokin', yeah
I wanna , I wanna , I wanna, I wanna be somebody's baby
Give me some strolin' keep my life smokin', yeah
