I wanna be honest, baby
I've still got a love left in my heart
But I'm fallin' apart
I didn't know how to say it
Or exactly where to start
I don't wanna be your shadow
Moving only where you move
I wanna be somebody's baby
Not somebody's fool
You take my love for granted
And sometimes act like you don't care
And that isn't fair
'Cause we started out together
Dreamin' a dream for us to share
I thought we were the exception
But you're breaking all the rules
I wanna be somebody's baby
Not somebody's fool
I always thought that love was all I needed
But now I know I need some things to change
I don't want to go as far as leaving
So for God's sake, make it easier to stay
I wanna be honest, baby
I've still got a love left in my heart
I'm just falling apart
I didn't know how to say it
But at least I've made a start
The cards are laid out on the table
Tell me what else can I do
I wanna be somebody's baby
Not somebody's fool
I wanna be somebody's baby
Not somebody's fool
