I Wanna Be Somebody's Baby
Lyrics
I JUST WANNA BE SOMEONE'S BABY
I am a wife and a mother and a grandmother too
I have everything in life to be happy.
I have all the love that I'm entitled too
Yet, I wanna be somebody's Baby.
It doesn't mean that I have to go wild
and abandon, home and family.
It just means a connection with someone
who can deal with my situation ably.
I just wanna Hear a voice call,
I just wanna hear his voice say
I just wanna hear his voice ask me
How's my baby doin' today.
I just long to be some ones baby
I've wanted it a long long time
And after I hear that said into my ear
I'll try to remember that I'm...
I am a wife and a mother and a grandmother too
I have everything in life to be happy.
I have all the love that I'm entitled too
Yet, I wanna be somebody's Baby.

Reviews
Another stunning piece, I really appreciate you being so
active here!
Ah, yes .. you can have everything in the world and yet
without that someone who can take care of YOU, life seems somewhat incomplete.
This is a universally relatable theme and you do a wonderful job of
personalizing that.

Vocal harmonies sound great, my only suggestion
is for the chorus it sounds like the 2nd staggered vocal part comes in
both times in the same place (hear a
voice call / hear his voice say).
Consider perhaps having the 2nd line come in on the left side of the
mix, just to give the listeners a more balanced stereo experience. Seems like
all of the harmonies in the song are in the same place, likely cause you
recorded the 2nd part in one take, but that's perfectly fine for non-staggered
harmony.

I love the flute interlude, very under
represented instrument. I think it would be just as effective, however, at half
the length (solo) then accompanying the verse 1 repetition. Shortening a song
is never a bad idea so long as you are not removing elements crucial to the
structure or meaning.
