I Wanna Marry You

I see you walking baby down the street

Pushing that baby carriage at your feet

I see that lonely ribbon in your hair

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

Little girl I wanna marry you

Oh yeah, little girl I wanna marry you

Yes I do

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 that in the end true love prevails

But in the end true love can’t be no fairytale

To say I’ll make your dreams come true would be wrong

But maybe darling, I could help them along

Little girl I wanna marry you

Oh yeah, little girl I wanna marry you

Yes I do

Little girl, I wanna marry you

My daddy said right before he died

That true, true love was just a lie

He went to his grave a broken heart

An unfulfilled live, makes a man hard – Oh, darling

There’s something happy and there’s something sad

‘Bout wanting somebody oh, so bad

I wear my love darling without shame

I’d be proud if you would wear my name
