Lately (Dreamin' About Babies)

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 all right

I've had my privacy

And your heart on a string

And it's never been my style

To ruin a good thing

Oh, but lately

I've been thinkin' 'bout a change of plans

Maybe get a couple wedding bands

And do something crazy

Maybe get 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

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

Oh, but lately

I've been listenin' more to Dr. Seuss

Readin' up on Mother Goose

Seems she's quite a lady

And I'm been seein' lots of pinks and blues

And little bitty tennis shoes

Hearin', "Goodnight, Daddy, I love yous"

Yeah, I've been dreamin' 'bout babies

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

Oh, but lately

I've been thinkin' that it makes more sense

To build a house with a picket fence

Forget the Mercedes

Get some puppy dogs and training wheels

Buy a family Oldsmobile

I can't believe just how good it feels

To be dreamin' 'bout babies

I can't believe just how good it feels

To be dreamin' 'bout babies
