Yo La Tengo › Lyrics › Somebody's Baby

Well, just 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
'Cause all the guys on the corner
Stand back and let her walk on by

They say, "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
Oh yeah, she's probably somebody's baby, all right

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
Oh yeah, she's gonna be somebody's baby, tonight

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'm a gonna walk up to her
I'm gonna talk to her tonight

She's probably somebody's only light
Gonna shine tonight
Oh yeah, she's gonna be somebody's baby, tonight

Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight
Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight
Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight
