The first time that I said let`s start our family
He said hon I`ve got the whole wide world to see
So come along and be this drifter`s lady the best next thing to love is bein` free
And I said don`t you feel the need to have some kids and settle down
He said not while there`s some places left to go yeah
I`d like to love you in Alaska underneath the midnight sun
I said makin` love don`t always make love grow oh 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 and just outside of Paris on a train
I said don`t you feel the need to have some kids and settle down
He said not while there`s some places left to go
I`d like to love you in the backseat of a taxi leavin` town
I said makin` love don`t always make love grow oh didn`t you know
And one day walkin` on the beach of Monterey
A little girl came up and took me by the hand
And said mom is it okay if I go swimmin`
But when ahe saw her mistake ahe blushed and ran
He laughed and reached for me but I just stepped away
I fought away the tears and tried to smile
Suddenly I knew I`d wait for him no longer just as suddenly he changed his style
He said don`t you feel the need to have some kids and settle down
Someday everybody leads a home
Yes 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 didn`t you know
