Born to Be Needed lyrics

[Chorus]
Baby, I was born to be needed
Baby, I was born to be needed

[Verse 1]
I always resisted
Conventions like mister and missus
But I’d do it, do it, do it again
Do it, do it, do it again
Immune to biology
It’s a lonely road to autonomy
But I would do it, do it, do it again
Do it, do it, do it again

[Bridge]
Why should I deny myself?
Never really cared about my health
The simple kind of life
Cuts through me like a sharpened knife

[Chorus]
Baby, I was born to be needed
Baby, I was born to be needed

[Verse 2]
Motherhood might do me good
At least that’s been the word around the neighborhood
We’re born into it, to it, to it again
Do it, do it, do it again
I know it’s an old refrain
But the need hit me like a hurricane
I'd fall into it, to it, to it again
Do it, do it, do it again
[Pre-Chorus]
Why should I deny myself?
Never really cared about my health
The simple kind of life
Cuts through me like a sharpened knife

[Bridge]
Ooh oh
Ooh oh
Ooh

[Chorus]
Baby, I was born to be needed
If my heart can’t take it, then maybe
I will give right into the feeling

[Outro]
Baby, I was born to be needed
If my heart can’t take it, then maybe
I will give right into the feeling
