Baby, I was born to be needed

Baby, I was born to be needed

I always resisted

Conventions like mister and missus

But I’d do it, do it, do it again

Do it, do it, do it again

Immune to biology

It’s a lonely road to autonomy

But I would do it, do it, do it again

Do it, do it, do it again

Why should I deny myself?

Never really cared about my health

The simple kind of life

Cuts through me like a sharpened knife

Baby, I was born to be needed

Baby, I was born to be needed

Motherhood might do me good

At least that’s been the word around the neighborhood

We’re born into it, to it, to it again

Do it, do it, do it again

I know it’s an old refrain

But the need hit me like a hurricane

I'd fall into it, to it, to it again

Do it, do it, do it again

Why should I deny myself?

Never really cared about my health

The simple kind of life

Cuts through me like a sharpened knife

Ooh oh

Ooh oh

Ooh

Baby, I was born to be needed

If my heart can’t take it, then maybe

I will give right into the feeling

Baby, I was born to be needed

If my heart can’t take it, then maybe

I will give right into the feeling
