Baby, I was born to be needed
Baby, I was born to be needed

I always resisted convictions and mister, misses
But I'd do it, do it, do it again
Do it, do it, do it again
Immune to biology
It's a lonely road to autonomy
But I would do it, do it, do it again
Do it, do it, do it again

Why should I deny myself?
Never really cared about my health
The simple kind of life
Cuts through me like a sharpened knife

Baby, I was born to be needed
Baby, I was born to be needed

Mother heard, might do me good
At least that's been the word around the neighbourhood
We're gonna do it, do it, do it again
Do it, do it, do it again
I know it's an old refrain
But the need hit me like a hurricane
I fall into it, do it, do it again
Do it, do it, do it again

Why should I deny myself?
Never really cared about my health
The simple kind of life
Cuts through me like a sharpened knife

Baby, I was born to be needed
If my heart can't take it, then maybe
I will give right into the feeling

Baby, I was born to be needed
If my heart can't take it, then maybe
I will give right into the feeling
