    Oh,          it was the funniest thing.

2. You should've seen that innocent look on her face,

                 A                                                D

    as he held her close, rumpled her hair out of place.

    You should've heard her calling him “baby”,

      G                      Gm

    leading him on, driving him crazy,

    such funny things, they make me cry.
