The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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
