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 street lights 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

She's gonna be somebody's only light.
Gonna shine tonight.
