Lately (dreamin' About Babies) Songtext

von Bob Carlisle

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.
