Lovers Of Today

The Pretenders · Original Album Series [2010]

I tried to talk to my baby

I said, "No no no no baby

Please don't cry

No, no, no, baby please

'Cause all of the leaves come down

Every time babies cry

All of the leaves come down"



I put my arms around my baby

I said, "Hush, hush, hush, hush

Baby sleep tight now

Hush, hush, hush, baby sleep

'Cause all of the birds start to sing

Every time babies dream

All of the birds start to sing"



Nobody wants to see

Lovers of today happy, so assumed

They're going to part

Nobody wants to be with someone

So afraid they'll be left with

A broken heart



I kissed the eyes of my baby

I said, "Dream, dream, dream, dream

Baby all night long

Dream, dream, dream all the night

All of the stars in the skies

Twinkle on baby's eyes

All of the stars in the skies"



I tried to talk to you baby

No, no, no, no

No, no

No I'll never feel

Like a man in a man's world
