The Babys

Songwriter: John Waite Ricky Phillips

Producer: Keith Olsen

Where can it be
Is it you
It had to be someone
In my life through these days
There's got to be a better way
Seen my love lose her grip
She can't take it
Get high
Get low
Well one day I'm gonna break it
But here in your eyes
I see what I need to know
You're so young you've got alibis
And you stripped away my disguise
Ain't it so
Day or night
You make me feel alright
Ain't it funny how the time flies
Gazing in your eyes
Who in the world even cares
We're all gettin older
I'm alone
I need love
I'm gonna break it
Seen my love lose her grip
She can't take it
Get high
Get low
Well one day I'm gonna break it
But here in your eyes
I see what I need to know
You're so young you've got alibis
And you stripped away my disguise
Ain't it so
Day or night
You make me feel alright
Ain't it funny how the time flies
Gazing in your eyes
Gazing in your eyes
Gazing in your eyes

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.
