Here I am, baby, the one who swore to never yield Here I am, baby, the one who swore to play the field Said I won't let no man tie me down, not a single one now Wasn't gonna ever give my heart to a mother's son now In the end they all proudly stated that man for me ain't been created Here I am, baby, the one who was so love-defined Here I am, baby, the one who was so self-reliant Said I won't depend on nothing else, I'd be independent Make a fortune all my own and I'd know how to spend it I'd be so unstationary, love would be unnecessary Here I am, baby, you want me and I do concede Here I am, baby, I find you what I really need Said you got me hanging on a string, don't you let me drop now Since you started loving me, don't you ever stop now Don't wanna be loved by another, I ain't going another further Here I am, baby, take me cause I'm yours alone Here I am, baby, yours to call your very own Here I am, baby
