D                      G6            A
I see you walking baby down the street
                           D          G
Pushing that baby carriage at your feet
                         A
I see that lonely ribbon in your hair
         A7                        D
Tell me am I the man for whom you put it there

You never smile, girl, you never speak
You just walk on by, darling, week after week
Raising two kids alone in this mixed-up world
Must be a lonely life for a working girl

Chorus:
                     G6
Little girl I wanna marry you
          A                   D
Oh yeah, little girl I wanna marry you
       G
Yes I do
        A             D
Little girl, I wanna marry you

Now, honey, I don't wanna clip your wings
But a time comes when two people should
think of these things
Having a home and a family
Facing up to their responsibilities

They say in the end, true love prevails
But in the end, true love can't be some fairytale
To say I'll make your dreams come true would
be wrong
But maybe, darling, I could help them along

Chorus

G                      A
My daddy said right before he died
     F#m7                 Bm7
That true, true love was just a lie
G                        A
He went to his grave a broken heart
   G                  A
An unfulfilled live, makes a man hard

Oh darling
There's something happy and there's something sad
'Bout holding somebody oh so bad
I wear my love, darling, without shame
I'd be proud if you would wear my name

My girl
Ooh my girl
My mean girl
Oh girl, oh
Yeah
See you
