Baby Girl

Lyrics

Come here
 ♪
 Baby girl
 ♪
 I've seen a man cry
 I've seen a man die inside
 I've seen him say to me
 That he is only mine
 That he gotta do
 What is best for him
 Never let me in
 Not even begin
 To tell me I'm the one
 Under his moon and sun
 That I am the thing
 That revolves around him
 But while on top of him
 I know what's best for him
 I'll show him how to win
 And let me in 'cause
 I don't wanna be your baby girl
 I don't wanna be your little pearl
 I just wanna be what's best for me
 To be one-da-dum with my own star under my own sun
 ♪
 We're all sorry now
 I didn't mean to wow
 Make you cry like that
 It's just a little spat
 Still I want you to know
 Though I love you so
 It's mostly me dreaming, forcing, believing
 That you're an ideal
 Hell, I never steal
 But I stole you from
 From another one
 So take yourself and wrap around my little finger
 'Cause that's how it should swing
 I don't wanna be your baby girl
 I don't wanna be your little pearl
 I just wanna be what's best for me
 To be one-da-dum with my own star under my own sun
 Why can't he see?
 Why can't he see what's inside of me?
 Don't you, don't you call me coochie-coo a little girl, now
 Don't you gaga goo no coochie-coo girl now
 I'm so much more
 Can't you see?
 Can't you see?
 Look who's writing now
 A token of their love
 Can't you see, love?
 That it's just because
 I wanted a cheap way
 To get inside your head
 And not a cheap way
 To get inside your bed
 Though you're running now
 With that silly one
 It's all over now
 This woman's just begun
 Maybe we'll see about
 The will and the way
 Butterflies return some day
 I don't wanna be your baby girl
 I don't wanna be your little pearl
 I just wanna be what's best for me
 To be one-da-dum with my own star under my own sun
