I Wanna Marry You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
