The first time that she said

Let's start our family

I said how I've got

The whole wide world to see

So come along

And be this drifter's lady

The next best thing to love

Is bein' free

She said don't you feel the need

To have some kids

And settle down

I said not while

There's some places

Left to go yeah

I'd like to love you in Alaska

Underneath the midnight sun

She said makin' love

Don't always make love grow

Didn't you know

Acapulco and the Mexicaly sunshine

Hawaii on a rooftop in the rain

Out of Rio De Janeiro on a tramp liner

Just outside of Paris on a train

And she said

Don't you feel the need to

Have some kids and settle down

I said not while

There's some places left to go

I'd like to love you in the backseat

Of a taxi leavin' town

She said makin' love

Don't always make love grow

Didn't you know

As we walked one day along

The beach of Monterey

A little boy came up

And took her by the hand

And said mom is it okay

If I go swimmin'

But when he saw his mistake

He blushed and ran

I laughed and reached for her

But she just stepped away

Through the teardrops in her eyes

She tried to smile

Suddenly I knew she'd wait for me

No longer

And just as suddenly

I changed my style

I said don't you feel

The need to have some kids

And settle down

Someday everybody needs a home

I guess I'm finally learnin'

Love is more

Than just a runnin' round

But makin' love is hard to do alone

I said don't you feel the need

To have some kids

And settle down

Babe I'm gonna take it on my own

See I'm finally learnin'

Love is more than

Just a runnin' round

Why makin' love might

Even make love grow

Didn't you know
