Lately (Dreamin’ About Babies) LyricsI 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'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
La-la-la, la-la-la...
Oh...
La-la-la, la-la-la...
I know it can be hardthese 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. 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
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
You might also likeOh, 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 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
La-la-la, la-la-la...
Oh...
La-la-la, la-la-la...
