Handsome Babies Lyrics
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
