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 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

Little girl, I wanna marry you, oh yeah

Little girl, I wanna marry you, yes, I do

Little girl, I wanna marry you

Oh, 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 life, girl, makes a man hard

Oh, darling

There's something happy and there's something sad

'Bout wantin' somebody oh so bad

I wear my love, darling, without shame

I'd be proud if you would wear my name

Ooh, my girl

Ooh, my girl

My little girl

Oh, girl, girl

Yeah

Ooh
