"Babies" lyrics - TRACEY THORN

Every morning of the month
You push a little tablet through the foil
Cleverest of all investions
Better than a condom or a coil

'Cause I didn't want my babies
Until I wanted babies
And when I wanted babies
Nothing else would do but babies
Babies, babies

Every touch was terrifying
All my knowledge from Cathy and Claire
Anxious waiting, diary watching
Just because a boy had touched me there

'Cause I didn't want my babies
Until I wanted babies
And when I wanted babies
Nothing else would do but babies
Babies, babies

Go to sleep it's three am
Where are you it's three am
In a cab at three am
Don't wait up it's three am

Remembering at three am
Feeding you at three am
Rocking chair at three am
Go to sleep it's three am

Please, please
Lay your pretty head down
Please, please
Get the fuck to bed now

All the nights I paced the floor
Made me love you even more
Made me love you even more

And oh, I love my babies
Oh, I love my babies
Oh, I love my babies
