The Babys

Songwriter: Jonathan Cain John Waite

Producer: Keith Olsen

Driving faster than you want me to
Can't help myself when I'm alone with you
Alright
Alright

I've passed the limit and there's no way back
Your kind of love gives me a heart attack
Alright
Alright

'Cuz baby can't you see
We need to spend some time alone
We need to see some dreams come true
I wanna feel me touching you
We need a midnight rendezvous

On the freeway with the throttle down
You drive me crazy as we drive around
Alright
All night

The way you look tonight you aim to please
The dress you're wearin' is way past your knees
Alright
Alright

'Cuz baby can't you see
We need to spend some time alone
We need to see some dreams come true
I wanna feel you touching me
We need a midnight rendezvous

Midnight
Midnight rendezvous
Midnight
Midnight rendezvous
Midnight
Midnight rendezvous
Midnight
Midnight rendezvous
Yeah yeah

All I really wanna do
Spend some time alone with you
Yeah
A midnight
(Baby baby can you see)
(Baby baby you and me)
(Baby baby can you see)
(Baby baby you and me)
A midnight rendezvous
Yeah
All I really wanna do
Oh I really wanna fuck you
Oh
Midnight rendezvous

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.
