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
