The first time that she said let's start our family

I said hon 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
