Handsome Babies Lyrics

Say Hi Handsome Babies

The stars that night shone wildly bright outside
But you stayed in and stared the night away
At shelves of books lined wall to wall
You soaked 'em up from spring to fall since seventies

And you've been dreaming of big, big things
Meanwhile, you're weaker in the knees

Just like they said it would be
Just like you read it would be

And once or twice, distractions came
To thaw the ice and gave you chances plenty
And you'd muster fire for sometimes even months
But never quite enough to light it up

So they'd marry men and make handsome babies
And that's the last you would hear of them

Just like they said it would be
Just like you read it would be
