Intro
*Well, she said she wants to be somebody...
And, i said, "i want to be with you..."
*She keeps on talkin' bout' the future...
Like her present just won't do...

Verse 1
*Well, she said she wants to be somebody,
and, i said i want to be with you
*She keeps on talkin' bout' the future,
like her present just won't do
*Well, my baby's been so good to me,
but when she's made up her mind.
*I said, "i'm beggin you please, i'm on my knees"
and she says, "boy don't waste your time, your precious time"

Chorus
And she says, "B-Baby, baby, baby,
You know i love you but i've got to go.
Gonna travel the world and find myself, baby...
Learn all there is to know.
And you know it breaks my heart inside
cuz, she means that much to me...
but, when she smiles, that girls on fire, and i know
That she deserves to be free...

Verse 2
*Well, my baby's had some troubles.
She's been dealt some awful cards.
*And the hand that she's been playin
has been playin hell upon her heart
*Well, i would surely fall apart now
if i'm not just what you need
*But, i am pickin up the peices
gonna, build a better me...

Chorus
And she says, "B-Baby, baby, baby,
You know i love you but i've got to go.

but, when she smiles, that girls on fire, and i know
That she deserves to be free...

Bridge
i know that she'll come
runnin back and find my love where she left it, no i'm not skeptic
she gives me something to believe in...

And she will tell me
all about how she has taken over, the whole world over
And she'll be in my arms and i'll say...
And she will be inside my arms and i'll say...

Outro
B-baby, baby, baby...
Hold me close tonight...
And i'll say, B-baby, baby...
you got what i need and i know, that we are gonna be alright...
