What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, But what if it don't? What happens in my head stays in my head, But sometimes it won't. What if you knew what I was thinking? Would it make you like "Whoa!"? I don't wanna risk putting my foot in this So I keep my mouth closed. (Chorus) All you hear is "Uh uh uh uh uh uh" Gonna button my lips so the truth don't slip Uh uh uh uh uh uh Gotta beep out what I really wanna shout Whoops! Did I say it out loud? Did you find out? (oow yeah) I wanna have your babies You're serious like crazy I wanna have your babies I see 'em springing up like daisies. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Some of my feelings keep escaping So I make it a joke Nonchalant I keep on faking So my heart don't get broke I'm in a big, big, big, big ocean In a tiny little boat I'll only put the idea out there If I know it's gonna float. (Chorus) (Bridge) 'Cause in my head there's a slot machine And I'm betting you're the one in my hopes and dreams La la la la la, la la la la la la la La la la la la, la la, la la... Trust me it'd scare you If you knew what was going on in my brain Trust me it'd scare you That I picked out the church, or the schools or the names If you knew it was all about you Every wish, every candle, every coin in the fountain Trust me it'd scare you That's why I go, Uh uh uh uh uh, uh uh Uhm... yeah (Chorus x2) This one, this another, this one, oow... Babies, babies, babies, babies... I wanna have your babies I... Yeah yeah ha ha and maybe you'll find out...
