Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[F]The [G]fir[Am]st ti[G]me[C] that I
[F]said let's start our [G]family
He said, [C]"Hon I've got [F]the whole
wide world [G]to see[F]
[G]So com[C]e along and[F] be this
drifter[G]'s lady
The best [F]next thing [Dm]to love
is bein' [G]free"

[Verse 2]
And I said, [C]"Don't you feel [F]the need to have
some [G]kids and settle [C]down?"
He said not while there's
[F]some places left [G]to go, yeah
I'd like [C]to love you in [F]Alaska under
[G]neath the midnight [C]sun
I said, [F]"Makin' [C]love don't [Dm]always [F]make love
[Bb]grow [G]oh didn't you know"
[C][F]

[Verse 3]
[G][F]
[G]Acap[C]ulco [F]and the Mexica[G]ly sunshine,
[C]Hawaii on [F]a rooftop in [G]the rain
Out [C]of Rio De [F]Janeiro on a tramp [G]liner and
[F]just outside of Par[Dm]is on[G] a train
I said [C]don't you feel [F]the need to have
some [G]kids and settle [C]down
He said not while there's
[F]some places left [G]to go

[Verse 4]
I'd like [C]to love you in the back
[F]seat [G]of a taxi leavin' [C]town
I said, [F]"Makin' [C]love don't [Dm]always [C]make love
[Bb]grow [G]oh didn't [C]you know[F][G][F][G]
And [C]one day walkin' [F]on the beach
[G]of Monterey"
[C]A little girl came up and
[F]took me by [G]the hand

[Verse 5]
And said, "Mo[C]m i[F]s it okay if
I go swim[G]min'?"
But when [C]he saw her mistake
[F]he blushed and[G] ran
He [C]laughed and reached [F]for me
but I just [G]stepped away
I [C]fought away [F]the tears and tried [G]to smile

[Verse 6]
Sud[C]denly I knew [F]I'd wait
for him [G]no longer
[F]Just [Dm]as suddenly he
changed [G]his style
He said, [C]"Don't you feel [F]the need to have
some [G]kids and settle [C]down?"
Someday every[F]body leads [G]a home

[Verse 7]
Yes, I'm [C]fi nally learnin' [F]love
is more than [G]just a runnin' [C]round
But [F]makin' [C]love is [Dm]hard
to [C]do [Bb]alone[G]
I said, [C]"Don't you feel [F]the need to have
some [G]kids and settle [C]down"
Babe, I'm gonna [F]take it [G]on my own

[Verse 8]
See I'm [C]fi nally learnin' [F]love is
more than [G]just a runnin' [C]round
Why [F]makin' [C]love might [Dm]even
[C]make love [Bb]grow[G]
Didn't you [C]know[F]
[G]did[F]n't[G] you know?
