Say you love me, I know you do
Go anywhere I want you to
Yeah, but I love ya
So now I read my stars

Gettin' worried, I face the floor
Hearin' noises outside my door
Think it's friends, can't be sure
So now I read my stars
And now I turn the cards

Is it love? Oh, I don't know
Is it real? I can't tell
Why the smile? Well, I'm happy
Do you know her that well?

Is it strange? Well, I don't know
Seein' stars all around, yeah
It's a spell, yeah, I think so
Seein' rainbows well

Crystal gaze and visions fade
Make the card the ace of spades
Can't walk the streets, I don't feel safe
So now I read my stars

Say you love you me I know you do
Do anythin' I want you to
Oh, the things you put me through
So now I read my stars
But where to turn the cards

The Babys are a British rock band most famous for their hit songs “Every Time I Think of You” and “Isn’t it Time”. The band featured vocalist John Waite, and future Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain.

The band’s name was originally a joke that stuck. According to Waite:

We took the name simply because the record companies wouldn’t listen to any bands they thought were rock & roll. I mean, they wanted sure-fire teen bands, pre-teen bands. We couldn’t get anybody down to hear us to get a record deal, so we called ourselves The Babys. We thought we’d keep the name just for two weeks. Then, the word got around in London that there was a band playing rock & roll called The Babys and it seemed so off the wall, so completely crazy, that it was worth taking a shot with. It really appealed to everyone’s sense of humor.
