Like a junkie needs the needle And a gravedigger needs some sun Like a daughter needs her daddy And dogs need space to run Baby, it’s you
Like a sneaker needs the pavement And a farmer smells fresh earth Like a rock star needs applause And a wistful housewife needs to know her ...
worth, Baby, it’s you
Baby, it’s you, baby, it’s you, Like pop culture needs something new Baby, it’s you.
Like a cowboy feels his freedom And a hipster needs his thrills Like New Yorkers need their pace And a murderer needs his kills Baby, it’s you
Like the middle child needs attention And Thomas Edison listened for a voice Like an orphan longs to belong And a business man loves his invoice Baby, it’s you
Baby, it’s you, baby, it’s you, Kentucky rain needs eyes of blue Baby, it’s you
Like the Earth needs Mars Like a prison warden needs his bars And the paparazzi need their stars
Like Rapunzel needs her braids And an impulse shopper needs money today Like a war-weary soldier longs for peace And a death row Atheist starts to pray Baby…
LIke a songbird drinks morning dew, baby, it's you.
