Lyrics
I saw her standing there
Hibiscus in her hair
As I walked along that old Forgotten Coast
And her body blocked the setting sun
As she watched the sand pipers run
Had that '60s style that really is the most
It was just a moment's glance
I didn't need a second chance
And it might have been the sun behind her face
But I knew that we had to walk
And I knew that we had to talk
And I knew that we might never leave this place
And she said, All I really want is to belong to somebody
To be somebody's baby every day
All I really want is to belong to somebody
Won't someone come and carry me away?
We walked down by the shore
And we talked, yeah, that's for sure
And we heard the palm fronds rustle in the breeze (LISTEN!)
And she said, I just want to give my soul
And I just want to lose control
Just tell me now; I'll get down on my knees
And she said, All I really want is to belong to somebody
To be somebody's baby every day
All I really want is to belong to somebody
Won't someone come and carry me away?
At a Tiki bar
Called Le Chat Nior
Put my hand into the hollow at her waist
And I told that's where it belongs
And she sang a Jimi Hendrix song
And that lovin' look just washed across her face
And she said, All I really want is to belong to somebody
To be somebody's baby every day
All I really want is to belong to somebody
Won't someone come and carry me away?
All I really want is to belong to somebody
All I really want is to belong to somebody
All I really want is to belong to somebody
Won't someone come and carry me away?
Won't someone come and carry me away?
