Everybody’s Somebody’s Baby
Everybody's somebody's baby
Everybody's baby needs an angel these days
I read about you in the news
The gang page twenty-two
I could hardly understand it
I felt so removed
Just because my street is safe
I must be one of the lucky few
Lucky few
So I quietly slipped on to your porch with you
Rocking my baby in mother's arms
Hope dreams and a prayer or two
Her only protection to keep her from harm
Everybody's somebody's baby
Everybody's baby needs an angel these days
Everybody's somebody's baby
Everybody's baby needs an angel these days
Didn't the angels see us, my baby
Maybe they're just too busy these days
Last I heard an engine revving
Two shots fired and found their way
Our bodies jerked, I almost dropped you
Then we were flying, my sweet baby and I
Everybody's somebody's baby
Everybody's baby needs an angel these days
If the angels could not help us here
At least they helped us fly away
Fly away on graceful wings
Fly away from hurt and hate
Fly away from graceless beings
Everybody's somebody's baby
Everybody's baby needs an angel these days
Everybody's somebody's baby
Everybody's baby needs an angel these days
