Lyrics

Somebody's Baby

[Verse 1]

Well, just look at that girl

With the lights comin' up in her eyes

She's gotta be somebody's baby

She must be somebody's baby

'Cause all the guys on the corner

Stand back and let her walk on by

They say she's gotta be somebody's baby

She must be somebody's baby

She's gotta be somebody's baby

[Chorus]

She's so fine

She's probably somebody's only light

Gonna shine tonight, oh, yeah

She's probably somebody's baby

Alright

[Verse 2]

I heard her talking with her friend

When she thought nobody else was around

She said she's gotta 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 gotta be somebody's baby

She must be somebody's baby

She's gotta be somebody's baby

[Chorus]

She's so

She's gotta be somebody's only light

Gonna shine tonight, oh yeah

She's gonna be somebody's baby tonight

[Bridge]

I try to shut my eyes

But I can't get her out of my sight

Well, I know I'm gonna know her

But I can't get over my fright

Well, I'ma gonna walk up to her

And I'm gonna talk to her tonight

[Chorus]

She's probably somebody's only light

Gonna shine tonight, oh, yeah

She's gonna be somebody's baby tonight

[Post-Chorus]

Gonna shine tonight

Make her mine tonight

Gonna shine tonight

Make her mine tonight

Gonna shine tonight

Make her mine tonight
