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 understandin' 
And lettin' the other go free 
Now I wanna be somebody's baby 
Let somebody worry 'bout me 

Who,no, no, no more a shoulder to cry on 
My shoulders are wet to the bone 
No, no, no more a friend to rely on 
I'm looking 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 
Who, I was the one who was always strong 
And I was always the one left alone 
I was the one understandin' 
And lettin' the other go free 
Right now I wanna be somebody's baby 
Let somebody worry 'bout me 

I wanna be mothered and fathered 
And sistered and brothered 
It's gonna be [bad word] and grand 
I swear I'll keep you worried and sweatin' 
And busy and bothered  [bad word] around wringin' your hands 

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 
Who, I was the one who was always strong 
And I was always the one left alone 
I was the one understandin' 
And lettin' the other go free 
Right now I wanna be somebody's baby 
Let somebody worry 'bout me
