Lately (dreamin' About Babies) lyrics

i used to think i had it made
everytime we said goodnight
this little dating game we played
has always seemed to feel alright
i had my privacy and your heart on a string
its never been my style to ruin a good thing

but lately I’ve been thinking a change of plans
maybe get a couple wedding bands
do something crazy
maybe get a piece of land and see
if we can start a family tree
i don't know what's gotten into me
but I've been dreaming bout babies

I know it can be hard these days
to be a family man
I know that the experts say
you need to live life while you can
I’ve heard phychology on what makes true love true
and I’ve read the books with educated points of view

but lately I’ve been leaning more to dr. seuss
reading up on mother goose
seems she's quite a lady
I've been seeing lots of pinks and blues
and little bitty tennis shoes
hearing good night daddy I love you
yeah I've been dreamin' bout babies

I used to dream of fancy foreign cars
and black tie affairs
now we live in separate condos
while we climb the golden stairs

but lately
I've been thinking it makes more since
to build a house with a picket fence
forget the Mercedes
get some puppy dogs and training wheels
and a family olds mobile
I can't believe just how good it feels to be dreamin about babies
I can't believe just how good it feels
