I won't need the bottle
or a teddy bear.
I won't need a blanky
or a lullaby in the rocking chair

If I can be your baby
I won't need a cuddly doll
a satin dress
or a trip to the mall

If I can be your baby
I won't need a Christmas present,
even if Santa sent it!
I won't need a chocolate bar
a candy-cane or electric guitar.

A pink bicycle with a basket -
I would not ask it
if I had you.
I would not need the sun or the moon,
an ocean breeze.
or a swing on a tree.

I would have
the sun as you smile
the stars as you wink your eyes
an ocean breeze is your stride
the strum from a guitar in your words
your voice dancing as a mockingbird's
your lips sweet as sugarplums

And if the day came
that I was your baby?
Hell, just the idea is making me crazy!
