Lyrics

I wanna be somebody's baby

I desire to be someone's significant other

I don't want a child of my own

I do not want to have children of my own

I was the one who was always strong

I used to be the emotionally strong person

And I was always the one left alone

I consistently ended up being the one left alone

I was the one understandin'

I was understanding and allowed others to be free

And lettin' the other go free

Now, I want to be the one cared for

Now I wanna be somebody's baby

I want someone to worry about me

Let somebody worry 'bout me


Who,no, no, no more a shoulder to cry on

No longer available as a comforting figure

My shoulders are wet to the bone

My shoulders are burdened and soaked

No, no, no more a friend to rely on

No more a reliable friend

I'm looking for friends of my own

I am seeking friends for myself

No more a kindly adviser

No longer an advisor

And no more a worshiping fan

No longer a devoted fan

I'm younger and weaker and wiser

I am younger, weaker, and wiser with a new plan

With a brand new strategy planned


I wanna be somebody's baby

I want to be someone's beloved

I don't want a child of my own

I don't want my own child

Who, I was the one who was always strong

I used to be the strong one

And I was always the one left alone

I was always the one left alone

I was the one understandin'

I was understanding and let others go free

And lettin' the other go free

Now, I want to be the one cared for

Right now I wanna be somebody's baby

I want someone to worry about me

Let somebody worry 'bout me


I wanna be mothered and fathered

I desire to be nurtured and guided

And sistered and bothered

By a mother, father, sister, and bothered

It's gonna be gruesome and grand

It will be both challenging and grand

I swear I'll keep you worried and sweatin'

I promise to keep you worried and busy

And busy and bothered

You'll be bothered, running around and wringing your hands

You'll run around wringin' your hands


I'll call you at three in the mornin'

I'll call you at 3 in the morning, expressing my sorrows

Wailin' my woes to the sky

Crying out my troubles to the sky

I'll slip out of sight without warnin'

I'll disappear without warning and return with a gleam in my eye

And return with a gleam in my eye


I wanna be somebody's baby

I want to be someone's beloved

I don't want a child of my own

I don't want my own child

Who, I was the one who was always strong

I used to be the strong one

And I was always the one left alone

I was always the one left alone

I was the one understandin'

I was understanding and let others go free

And lettin' the other go free

Now, I want to be the one cared for

Right now I wanna be somebody's baby

I want someone to worry about me

Let somebody worry 'bout me
