Daughter, don't give your love to the first man you see 
     F                                       C 
Just bide your time so your heart will be free

To find the one

Daughter, don't think that love has gone out of style 
     F                              C

Now I know you're wondering how 
Em                     F                    G   Em 
You know when the real thing is comin' your way 
Em       Am       C           G 
When you live for him and not you 
Em                 F               Am  G 
You know that it's truly comin' to stay

F                                               C 
But when the right man comes it won't be too late 
   G          Am 
So don't you cry

He'll be here by and by
