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 
 
D                         G6 
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 
 
                    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 
 
                         G6 
Now, honey I don't wanna clip your wings 
      A                                  D                   G 
But a time comes when two people should think of these things 
                      A 
Having a home and a family 
       A7                  D 
Facing up to their responsibilities 
                               G6 
They say that in the end true love prevails 
            A                           D     G 
But in the end true love can't be no fairytale 
                              A 
To say I'll make your dreams come true would be wrong 
     A7                     D 
But maybe darling, I could help them along 
 
                    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 
 
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, 
D                                    G6 
There's something happy and there's something sad 
       A               D          G 
'Bout wanting somebody, oh so bad 
                        A 
I wear my love darling without shame 
        A7                 D 
I'd be proud if you would wear my name
