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, darlin', 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 mary 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 no fairytale To say I'll make your dreams come true would be wrong But maybe, darlin', 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 mary 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 life, makes a man hard
Oh darlin' There's something happy and there's something sad 'Bout wanting somebody, oh so bad, I wear my love darlin', without shame I'd be proud if you would wear my name.
