I Wanna Be Somebody's Baby - Unreleased "Barry Manilow Live" outtake - Barry Manilow

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
