Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Baby

You've been so distant from me lately

And lately

Don't even wanna call you "baby"

[PreChorus]

Saw us gettin' older (Older)

Burnin' toast in the toaster

My ambitions were too high

Waiting up for you upstairs (Upstairs)

Why you act like I'm not there?

Baby, right now it feels like

[Chorus]

It feels like you don't care

Why don't you recognize I'm so rare?

Always there

You don't do the same for me, that's not fair

I don't have it all

I'm not claiming to

But I know that I'm special, yeah (So special)

And I'll bet there's somebody else out there

To tell me I'm rare

To make me feel rare

[Verse 2]

Baby

Don't make me count up all the reasons to stay with you

No reason

Why you and I are not succeeding, ah-ah (Mmm, ah, ah)

[PreChorus]

Saw us gettin' older (Oh)

Burnin' toast in the toaster (Ah-ha)

My ambitions were too high (Too high)

Waiting up for you upstairs (Upstairs)

Why you act like I'm not there? (Ah-ha)

Baby, right now it feels like (What?)

[Chorus]

It feels like you don't care

Why don't you recognize I'm so rare? (I'm so rare)

Always there

You don't do the same for me, that's not fair

I don't have it all

I'm not claiming to

But I know that I'm special, yeah (So special)

And I'll bet there's somebody else out there

To tell me I'm rare

To make me feel rare (Yeah, yeah)

[Bridge]

I'm not gonna beg for you

I'm not gonna let you make me cry (Ah, nah nah, make me cry)

Not getting enough from you (No-oh)

Didn't you know I'm hard to find? (Find, hard to find)

[PreChorus]

Saw us gettin' older

Burnin' toast in the toaster

My ambitions were too high (Too high)

Waiting up for you upstairs

Why you act like I'm not there?

Baby, right now it feels like

[Chorus]

It feels like you don't care (You don't care)

Why don't you recognize I'm so rare? (So rare)

I'm always there

You don't do the same for me, that's (That's) not (Not) fair

I don't have it all (I don't have it all)

I'm not claiming to (I'm not claiming to)

But I know that I'm special, yeah

And I'll bet there's somebody else out there

To tell me I'm rare

To make me feel rare (Ooh, yeah)

[Outro]

Ah, ah (So rare)

Rare

Ah, ah
