Aadd9
Oh my darling I was born when I met you
Bm
If you don't mind now would I lie cuz could I get you
Aadd9
To re-design and re-deliver me again
I'll be your baby and I'll be your father
Your little brother won't be no bother
Bm Aadd9
Just born in autumn, came and I am here
C D E5
I see you saw me in the mirror in half
C D E5
it's so exciting that we both just laugh and laugh
Aadd9
The other night you were away I missed you so bad
Bm
I found me doing something desperate I was so sad
Aadd9
I swear I held my own hand pretending it was yours
Oh my monkey love is funny when it's so strong
Bm
And it's so strong and it goes on for so, so long
Aadd9
And it's long and strong and funny and it pours
