Lately (Dreamin' About Babies)

Verse 1:

I used to think I had it made

Every time we said goodnight.

This little dating game we've played

Has always seemed to feel alright.

I've had my privacy,

And your heart on a string

And it'sn ever been my style

To ruin a good thing.

Chorus:

Oh, but lately

I've been thinkin' 'bout a

Change of plans,

Maybe get a couple wedding bands

And do something crazy,

Maybe ge a piece of land and see

If we could start a little family tree.

I don't know what's gotten into me,

But I've been dreamin' 'bout babies.

Verse 2:

I know it can be hard

These days to be a family man.

I know that all the experts say,

You need to live life while you can.

I've heard psychology on what

Makes true love true

And I've read books on educated

Points of view.

Chorus 2:

Oh, but lately

I've been listenin' more to Dr. Suess

Readin' up on Mother Goose,

Seems she's quite a lady.

I've been seein' lots of

Pinks and blues

And little bitty tennis shoes,

Hearin' goodnight Daddy,

I love you's,

Yeah, I've been dreamin' 'bout babies.

Bridge:

I used to dream of fancy foreign cars,

And black tie affairs,

And how we'd live in separate

Condos, while we climbed

The golden stairs.

Chorus 3:

Oh, but lately

I've been thinkin' that it

Makes more sense

To build a house with a picket fence

And forget the Mercedes,

Get some puppy-dogs and

Trainin' wheels

And a fmily Oldsmobile.

I can't believe just how

Good it feels

To be dreamin' 'bout babies,

Can't believe just how good it feels.
