She didn't add the lyric line about the "baby bein born" - it's in the
original version written by Hartman and Midnight. (Something had to rhyme
with "ripening corn" ;-)
Many of us have seen the "How Do You Stop" video where she sings and dances
with Seal. She makes a motion as if she is rocking an imaginary baby when
she sings the "baby bein born" line. She looks angelically happy when she
comes to that part.
