1. I see you walking, baby,
down the street,
A D
pushing
that baby carriage at your feet.
G A
I see that lonely
ribbon in your hair,
A7 D
tell
me, am I the man for whom you put it there.
D G
2. You never smile, girl,
you never speak,
A D
you
just walk on by, darling, week after week.
G A
Raising two kids alone in this
mixed up world,
A7 D
must be a lonely life for a working girl.
G A D
Little girl, I wanna marry you, oh, yeah,
little girl, I wanna marry you,
- G A
D
yes, I do, little girl, I wanna
marry you !
D G
3. Now, honey, I don’t wanna clip your wings,
A D
but a
time comes when two people should think of these things,
G A
having
a home and a family,
A7 D
facing
up to their responsibilities.
D G
4. They say that in the end
true love prevails,
A D
but
in the end true love can’t be no fairytale.
G A
To say I’ll make your dreams
come true would be wrong,
A7 D
but
maybe, darling, I could help them along.
G A D
Little girl, I wanna marry you, oh, yeah,
little girl, I wanna marry you,

G A D
yes, I do, little girl, I wanna marry you !

G A
+ Oh,
my daddy said, right before he died,
F#m Bm
that
true love was just a lie.
G A
He went to his grave a broken
heart,
G A
an
unfulfilled life makes a man hard.

5. Oh, darling, there’s
something happy and there’s something sad,
A D
‘bout
wanting somebody, oh, so bad.
G A
I wear my love, darling,
without shame,
A7 D
I’d be proud if you would wear
my ring.
