A letra:

 

Well, just look at that girl with the lights coming up in her eyes
She's got to be somebody's baby
She must be somebody's baby

All the guys on the corner stand back and let her walk on by
She's got to be somebody's baby
She must be somebody's baby
She's got to be somebody's baby, she's so fine

She's probably somebody's only light
Gonna shine tonight
Yeah, she's probably somebody's baby, alright

I heard her talking with a friend
When she thought nobody else was around
She said she's got to be somebody's baby
She must be somebody's baby

'Cause when the cars and the signs
And the streetlights light up the town
She's got to be somebody's baby
She must be somebody's baby
She's got to be somebody's, she's so

She's gonna be somebody's only light
Gonna shine tonight
Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's baby tonight

I try to shut my eyes, but I can't get her out of my sight
I know I'm gonna know her, but I gotta get over my fright
Well, I'm just gonna walk up to her, I'm gonna talk to her tonight
Alright

Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's only light
Gonna shine tonight
Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's baby tonight
She's gonna be somebody's only light, gonna shine tonight
Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's baby tonight

Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight
Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight
Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight, ah-ah
Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight
Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight, yeah
Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight
