Handsome Babies - Say Hi

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
