I agree, I really hear a girl singing to a boy about herself in the third person. Maybe she's in love with the guy, but maybe there's just a bond that supersedes mere friendship but doesn't quite fit as romantic love - maybe it's the kind of thing that COULD be romantic love in a different context, but isn't now and maybe doesn't ever need to be.
By the way, it's:
"You've got a baby of your own
When your baby's GONE, she'll be the one
To catch you when you fall"
The implication being, it's not literally a BABY she's referring to, but a romantic attachment. It really doesn't make a lot of sense that she's referring to an actual baby, if you think about it in context with that whole verse. When your infant's grown, she'll catch you when you fall? What?? In other words, the guy has himself a girl (a colloquial "baby"), but the singer knows he's just going to end up getting hurt, and will therefore get his back when he needs it. It also is again implying what could be a romantic thing, or just a "mere" uber-friendship.
What they mean by "when your baby is grown, she'll be the one to catch you when you fall" is that we take care of our children but when our children our grown they will be the ones we can lean on, that take care of us, that "catch us when we fall" ????❤????

Man, this song just owns.
