(Skip Ewing/Donny Kees)



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
