Babs & Babs Lyrics - Hall & Oates

Babs and babs lay dreaming in a four poster bed 

Arm in arm, head to head, babs and babs 

Babs said, "whatcha thinking? " 

She said, "nothing 

But I never do 'cause I leave it up to you" 

Babs looked out the window 

Saw the moon and the sky 

She saw the clouds drifting by 

Voices crying and sighing and dying but she said nothing 

"look out on the lawn, there's a moon out tonight 

There's a moon out tonight, can'tcha see? " 

"silver dreams don't move me or your talk of the stars 

And this isn't the time or place to make a fool of me. 

No one wants to hear you when you're slipping away 

And the light of your day always shows up the strength of your vision." 

But she said nothing. 

So babs said "don't you worry, I'll take good care of you 

You're lack of feeling's a rotten thing 

But I'll show you what to do. 

Girl, you've got to get away 

Girl, you've got to feel, oh, yeah." 

Babs said "don't you patronize me, I'm fine the way I am 

At least I know what's happening 

And I know just where I stand. 

You live alone you die alone 

When your dreams all fade away, oh, yeah." 

Never compromising, never see eye to eye 

So they turn, with a sigh, babs and babs 

Have to be together like the night and the day 

So they might as well stay the best of friends. 

Locked in love we leave them with the moon in the sky 

With the clouds drifting by 

Voices crying and sighing and dying and we say nothing 

She said nothing
