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 gruesome and grand I swear I'll keep you worried and sweatin' And busy and bothered You'll run 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 |

Every mornin' many late night lovers
Wake up to become early mornin' strangers Things always look different in the light of day Every mornin' many late night lovers Just silently stare, seein' all the changes It's hard to make small talk When there's nothin' to say Early mornin' strangers Lookin' at each other That is all we are to one another Early mornin' strangers Who wake up to discover It's just no good without love To live without love is no life at all Somewhere baby There's got to be more Somewhere baby there's a life worth livin' Where nobody takes more than they are givin' Where love is forever Not just for a day Early mornin' strangers Lookin' at each other That is all we are to one another Early mornin' strangers Who wake up to discover It's just no good without love To live without love is no life at all Bye bye baby I hope you find your love And I hope I find mine I hope you find your love And I hope I find mine |

I remember all my life Raining down as cold as ice A shadow of a man A face through a window Crying in the night The night goes into Morning, just another day Happy people pass my way Looking in their eyes I see a memory I never realized How happy you made me, oh Mandy Well you came and you gave without taking And I sent you away, oh Mandy And you kissed me and stopped me from shaking And I need you today, oh Mandy I'm standing on the edge of time Walked away when love was mine Caught up in a world of uphill climbing The tears are in my eyes And nothing is rhyming, oh Mandy Well you came and you gave without taking And I sent you away, oh Mandy And you kissed me and stopped me from shaking And I need you today, oh Mandy Yesterday's a dream Now I face the morning Crying on the breeze The pain is calling, oh Mandy Well you came and you gave without taking And I sent you away, oh Mandy And you kissed me and stopped me from shaking And I need you today, oh Mandy And I need you today, Oh Mandy |

Now, we're happy to sit,
Day after day The two of us Wasting away, making believe There's a reason to stay together Now, we're happy to sit, Night after night The two of us Convinced that it's right, hiding the yawns Somehow getting along together Afraid we'd always be alone We made a home that we could always share Just to know that someone would be there Even if we never learned to care And now, it's almost enough, Year after year The two of us Nothing to fear, nothing at all But the rest of our lives together |

She's a great little housewife
Though sometimes she talks like a fool But she helps at the store in the holiday rush And she picks up the kids after school And she puts down the phone when her husband comes home And she changes from mother to wife 'Til she feels the words hanging between them And she hangs by her words to her life She says I swear I love my husband, I love my kids I wanted to be like my mother But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did Oh there might have been time to be me For myself, for myself There's so many things that she wishes She don't even know what she's missin' And that's how she knows that she missed She's a sweetheart, except when she's moody It's hard to get through to her then Depressed for a while when the youngest was born Oh but that happens now and again She might take a drink with the housework Or when Michael's kept late at the shop A Martini or two before dinner But she always knows when to stop She says I swear I love my husband and I love my kids You know I wanted to be like my mother But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did Oh there might have been time to be me For myself, for myself There's so many things that she wishes She don't even know what she's missin' And that's how she knows that she missed Oh they used to hold hands at the movies Now it's seldom if ever they go Once you've paid for the sitter and parkin' the car There's no money left for the show She was doing the dishes When a glass fell and broke on the tile And she cut her wrist (quite by mistake) It was real touch and go for a while She says Oh God I love my husband and I love my kids You know I wanted to be like my, my mother But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did Oh there might have been time to be me For myself, for myself There's so many things that she wishes She don't even know what she's missin' And that's how she knows that she missed |
