Somebody's Baby

He used to be somebody's baby Someone used to hold him close, and rock him gently He used to be the light in someone's eyes He used to matter, he used to matter Someone cared if he lived or died Someone held him in their arms - when he cried And when he hurt, someone kept the world away Someone loved him, someone loved him He used to be somebody's baby Someone used to hold him close, and rock him gently He used to be the light in someone's eyes He used to matter, he used to matter He used to matter That was then, that was so long ago Long before they came and took his soul Long before he became invisible That was when, he wasn't human garbage then He used to be somebody's baby Someone used to hold him close, and rock him gently He used to be the light in someone's eyes He used to matter, he used to matter He used to matter He used to be somebody's baby --- Somebody's Baby - Pat Benatar
