"Born to Be My Baby" is a song performed by American hard rock band Bon Jovi. It was written by Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, and Desmond Child. It was released in November 1988 as the second single from their album New Jersey. It peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1989, number 7 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, number 22 in the UK, and number 30 in Australia.
"Born to Be My Baby" was the second of five singles from the New Jersey album to chart in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, the most singles from an album to chart in the Top 10 for a rock band. Despite the song's success, it was not included in the 1994 Cross Road greatest hits album. However the song was included on Bon Jovi's Greatest Hits album in 2010. In addition, an acoustic version of the song was recorded for their album This Left Feels Right.
The video for the song was done in all black-and-white, like many of the band's videos from the New Jersey album.
A very low budget video, it was shot all in the studio, chronicling the recording process for "Born to Be My Baby". In the full length video, there is actually dialogue between band members and the band does the chorus again, unsatisfied with the original version. The video prominently features photogenic shots of Jon Bon Jovi singing, as well as the band gathering around a microphone to sing the "na-na-na-na-na" part. The video also features Jon Bon Jovi's wife, Dorothea.

Born to Be may refer to:
Rainy night and the worked all day
Both got jobs 'cause there's bills to play
We've got somethin' they can't take away
Our love, our lives
Close the door, leave the cold outside
Don't need nothin', by your side
We've got somethin' that won't never die
Our dreams, our pride
Beats like a drum
Flesh to flesh, one to one
I'll never let go
Somethin' I know deep inside
You were born to be my baby
I was made to be your man
We've got somethin' to believe in
If we don't know where we stand
Only God knows the reason
But He must have had a plan
'Cause you were born to be my baby
And I was made to be your man
Light a candle, blow the world away
Table for two on a TV tray
Nothin' ain't fancy, but that's okay
Our time, our way
Hold me close baby, hang on tight
Buckle your seats, for a bumpy ride
We're two kids hitchin' this road of life
Our world, our fights
Stand side by side
There's a chance we'll get by
I know that you'll live
In my heart till the day I die
You were born to be my baby
I was made to be your man
We have got to believe in
Even if we don't know where we stand
Only God knows the reason
But He must have had a plan
'Cause you were born to be my baby
I was made to be your man
My heart beats like a drum
Flesh to flesh, one to one
I'll never let go
There's somethin' I know deep inside
You were born to be my baby
I was made to be your man
We've got somethin' to believe in
If we don't know where we stand
God knows the reason
But He must have had a plan
'Cause you were born to be my baby
