Lyrics

Somebody’s Baby

[Verse 1]

Well, just a-look at that girl

With the lights comin' up in her eyes

She's got to be somebody's baby

She must be somebody's baby

All the guys on the corner

Stand back and let her walk on by

She's got to be somebody's baby

She must be somebody's baby

She's got to be somebody's baby

She's so fine

[Chorus]

She's probably somebody's only light

Gonna shine tonight

Yeah, she's probably somebody's baby, all right

[Verse 2]

I heard her talkin' with her friend

When she thought nobody else was around

She said she's got to be somebody's baby

She must be somebody's baby

‘Cause when the cars and the signs and the streetlights

Light up the town

She's got to be somebody's baby

She must be somebody's baby

She's got to be somebody's baby

She's so

[Chorus]

She's gonna be somebody's only light

Gonna shine tonight

Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's baby tonight

[Bridge]

I try to shut my eyes, but I can't get her outta my sight

I know I'm gonna know her, but I gotta get over my fright

Well, I'm just gonna walk up to her

I'm gonna talk to her tonight

Ah

[Chorus]

Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's only light

Gonna shine tonight

Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's baby tonight

She's gonna be somebody's only light

Gonna shine tonight

Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's baby tonight

[Outro]

Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight

Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight

Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight

Ah-haa

Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight

Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight

Yeah

Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight
