Baby from A Woman by Emily Theis

She was born on the back of a ship
Momma said, “Oh baby, the hearts you'll steal.”
Turn to the curve of her hips
Those little hearts, they take so long to heal

Nobody calls her baby

She was raised on the waves of the sea
Daddy said “Oh baby, just raise your sails.”
The cold wind blows and she’s free
Lets out her hair, leans out over the rail

She is the helm of the ship
They say “Oh baby, just take the lead.”
Words on the back of her lips
Spilling out when she finds herself on her knees

"Just trying to tell you my story,
Just trying to say where I came from,
Not chasing glory,
But you keep on getting my name wrong."

Nobody calls her baby
Nobody calls her baby
Nobody calls her baby
"Somebody call me baby."
