The first time that she said let's start our family
|
I said hon I've got the whole wide world to see
|
So come along and be this drifter's lady the next best thing to love is bein' free
|
She said don't you feel the need to have some kids and settle down
|
I said not while there's some places left to go yeah
|
I'd like to love you in Alaska underneath the midnight sun
|
She said makin' love don't always make love grow didn't you know
|
|
Acapulco and the Mexicaly sunshine Hawaii on a rooftop in the rain
|
Out of Rio De Janeiro on a tramp liner just outside of Paris on a train
|
And she said don't you feel the need to have some kids and settle down
|
I said not while there's some places left to go
|
I'd like to love you in the backseat of a taxi leavin' town
|
She said makin' love don't always make love grow didn't you know
|
|
As we walked one day along the beach of Monterey
|
A little boy came up and took her by the hand
|
And said mom is it okay if I go swimmin'
|
But when he saw his mistake he blushed and ran
|
I laughed and reached for her but she just stepped away
|
Through the teardrops in her eyes she tried to smile
|
Suddenly I knew she'd wait for me no longer and just as suddenly I changed my style
|
I said don't you feel the need to have some kids and settle down
|
Someday everybody needs a home
|
I guess I'm finally learnin' love is more than just a runnin' round
|
But makin' love is hard to do alone
|
I said don't you feel the need to have some kids and settle down
|
Babe I'm gonna take it on my own
|
See I'm finally learnin' love is more than just a runnin' round
|
Why makin' love might even make love grow didn't you know
|
