Cover art for The Babysitter's Here lyrics by Dar Williams

I love the way it's a sad love story without being whiny or despairing- since it's from this innocent little girl's point of view, she doesn't see how the relationship's falling apart. I think VampedVixen's got it wrong- the boyfriend doesn't want the babysitter to go to college, he wants her to get married & settle down. I will never "go with a boy who would make you choose". I want to get married and have a family, AFTER art school.
