Deeper Dive: baby


Lyrics

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
She's probably somebody's only light
Gonna shine tonight
Yeah, she's probably somebody's baby, all right

Somebody’s baby by Jackson Browne
