Hear a message on my radio
I get home I got nowhere to go
Think about ya day and night
I'll be waiting so when it feels right
Anytime you want at all
Anytime
Anytime you want just call
Heartbeat faster lose control
A burnin' fever gets you alone
I need your love you're the only one
The night is passin' I could soon be gone
So anytime you want at all
Anytime
Anytime you want just call
Anytime you wanna rock and roll
Anytime
Telephone telegram
Come on over
Make me feel like a man
A crack of thunder over my hometown
I read the future it has to go down
So anytime you want at all
Anytime
Anytime you want just call
Anytime you wanna rock and roll
Anytime you need my love
Anytime
Anytime you want just call
Ooh yeah
(Anytime anytime)
Anytime you want my love
Yeah yeah
(Anytime anytime)
Anytime you're on your own
(Anytime anytime)
Anytime you want my love
(Anytime anytime)
Ooh

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.
