The first time that I said let's start our family
|
He said hon I've got the whole wide world to see
|
So come along and be this drifter's lady the best next thing to love is bein' free
|
And I said don't you feel the need to have some kids and settle down
|
He said not while there's some places left to go yeah
|
I'd like to love you in Alaska underneath the midnight sun
|
I said makin' love don't always make love grow oh 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 and just outside of Paris on a train
|
I said don't you feel the need to have some kids and settle down
|
He said not while there's some places left to go
|
I'd like to love you in the backseat of a taxi leavin' town
|
I said makin' love don't always make love grow oh didn't you know
|
And one day walkin' on the beach of Monterey
|
A little girl came up and took me by the hand
|
And said mom is it okay if I go swimmin'
|
But when ahe saw her mistake ahe blushed and ran
|
He laughed and reached for me but I just stepped away
|
I fought away the tears and tried to smile
|
Suddenly I knew I'd wait for him no longer just as suddenly he changed his style
|
He said don't you feel the need to have some kids and settle down
|
Someday everybody leads a home
|
Yes 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 didn't you know
|
