E                           A
You’re just a baby, baby girl
                                  E
So kiss me on the cheek and then go off to school
E                            A
You’re just a baby, baby girl
                                     E
So kiss me on the cheek before you know what’s cool

You will be leaving in the morning
And I won’t be there to see you go off your head
Yeah, you will be working in the morning
And I won’t be there to see you go off your head

Chorus:
             F#m                 B
There must a reason for all the looks we gave
    A                    F#m           B
And all the things we’ve never said before
                A
So what’s the score?
             F#m                 B
There must a reason for all the looks we gave
    A                    F#m           A
And all the things we’ve never said before
Before

You’re such a baby, baby girl
So kiss me on the cheek before you know what’s sweet
You’re just a baby, baby girl
So kiss me on the cheek before you go to sleep

You will be working in the morning
And I won’t be there to see you go off your head
Yeah, you will be crying in the morning
And I won’t be there to see you go off your head

Chorus

You’re such a baby, baby girl
So kiss me on the cheek before you go to sleep
You’re such a baby, baby girl
So let go of my hand so we can get some sleep

You will be crying in the morning
And I won’t be there to see you go off your head
Cause you will be married in the morning
And I won’t be there to see you go off your head

Chorus:
There must be a reason for all the looks we gave
And all the things we’ve never said before
So what’s the score?
There must be a reason for all the looks we gave
And all the things we’ve never said before

So what’s the reason for all the looks we gave?
And all the things we’ve never said before
Before, before, before
