Lyrics Lovers of Today - The Pretenders

Lovers of Today

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
'cause 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 I’ll never feel
Like a man in a man’s world
