Baby Girl

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
