Verse 1
Haven't laughed this hard in a
long time
I better stop now before I start
crying
Go off to sleep in the sunshine
I don't wanna see the day when
it's dying
Chorus 1
She's a sight to see (sight to
see)
She's (a) good to me (good to
me)
But I'm already somebody's baby
She's a pretty thing (pretty
thing)
And she knows everything
(everything)
But I'm already somebody's baby
Verse 2
You don't deserve to be lonely
But those drugs you got won't
make you feel better
Pretty soon you'll find it's the
only
Little part of your life you're
keeping together
Chorus 2
I'm nice to you (nice to you)
I could make it through (make it
through)
But you're already somebody's
baby
I could make you smile (make you
smile)
If you stayed a while (stayed a
while)
But how long will you stay with
me baby?

Verse 3
Because your candle burns too
bright
Well I almost forgot it was
twilight
Even if I think that you are
right
Well I'm tired of being down, I
got no fight
Chorus 3
You're wonderful (wonderful)
When it's beautiful (beautiful)
But I'm already somebody's baby
And if I went with you (went
with you)
I'd disapoint you too
(disappoint you too)
Am      G            F  (RIFF 1)
But I'm already somebody's baby
Already somebody's baby

It goes something like this. I've seen live videos where he sings the melody,
but I like this better.
