         C7
I want a love that's right,
but right is only half of what's wrong
          Dm7
I want a short-haired girl
who sometimes wears it twice as long
         F7
Now I'm steppin' out this old brown shoe
G#
Baby I'm in love with you
    F7
I'm so glad you came here
    E7                        Am
it won't be the same now I'm telling you

Though you pick me up from where
some try to drag me down
And when I see your smile
replacing every thoughtless frown
So escaping from this zoo
Baby I'm in love with you
I'm so glad you came here
It won't be the same now when I'm with you

G
If I grow up I'll be a singer
                 F
Wearing rings on ev'ry finger
G
Not worrying what they or you'll say
                        F
I'll live and love and maybe someday
F#                             G7
Who knows baby you may comfort me - hey!

I may appear to be imperfect
My love is something you can't reject
I'm changing faster than the weather
If you and me should get together
Who knows baby, you may comfort me

I know my love is yours,
to miss that love is something I'd hate
I'll make an early start,
I'm making sure that I'm not late
For your sweet top lip I'm in the queue
Baby I'm in love with you
I'm so glad you came here,
it won't be the same now when I'm with you
I'm so glad you came here,
it won't be the same now when I'm with you
