Lyrics
Wanna Be Your Baby
Words and Music by Eliot Osborn

VERSE
What makes this worse (is) so bad it hurts I wanna be your lover
but what?s left of me is all but gone
I?ll be more fun if I just hold my tongue cuz you?re not my mother
and I?d just b-b-b-babble on like everything is goin?wrong
PRE-CHORUS
I?m like a child I mean it?s infantile but I need shelter from the storm
Just wanna curl up in your world where I?ll feel safe and warm
CHORUS
Wanna be your baby Wanna be your baby
Your b-b-baby Your b-b-baby
Wanna be your baby Wanna be your baby Your b-b-baby yeah yeah
VERSE
What can I say The whole damn day has just been a disaster
I need to crawl into your smile
or I?ll be the clown If I can hear the sound of your laughter
cuz I d-d-d-don?t know why sometimes I just start to cry
PRE-CHORUS
Like a juvenile runnin? wild it sure won?t do no harm
If I could just lie a while wrapped up in your arms
CHORUS
Wanna be your baby Wanna be your baby... etc.
BRIDGE
and when I get like this I just can?t help myself
and I don?t want to be with nobody else
PRE-CHORUS
What can I say hey I?m just fallin? apart
I just want you here where I?ll be near
The beating of your heart
( OUTRO )
No I don?t wanna be your sister or your brother
And I don?t wanna be your significant other
Wanna be your baby Wanna be your baby
Your b-b-baby Your b-b-baby
Wanna be your baby Wanna be your baby Your b-b-baby yeah yeah
