C7
I want a love that's right, but right is only half of what's wrong
Dm7
I want a short-haired girl who sometimes wears it twice as long
F7
Now I'm stepping out this old brown shoe
Ab
Baby I'm in love with you
F7
I'm so glad you came here,
E7 Am
it won't be the same now I'm telling you
You know, you pick me up from where some tried to drag me down
And when I see your smile replacing every thoughtless frown
So escaping from this zoo
Baby I'm in love with you
I'm so glad you came here
It won't be the same now when I'm with you
(Chorus:)
G
If I grow up I'll be a singer
F
Wearing rings on ev'ry finger
G
Not worrying what they or you'll say
F
I'll live and love and maybe someday
F#o G7
Who knows baby you may comfort me...
(Instrumental:) C7 Dm7 F7 Ab F7 E7 Am
(Chorus:)
I may appear to be imperfect
My love is something you can't reject
I'm changing faster than the weather
If you and me should get together
Who knows baby you may comfort me...
I know my love is yours to miss that love is something I'd hate
I'll make an early start I'm making sure that I'm not late
For sweet top lip I'm in the queue
Baby I'm in love with you
I'm so glad you came here, it won't be the same now when I'm with you
I'm so glad you came here, it won't be the same now when I'm with you
I'm so glad you came here, it won't be the same now when I'm with you
(Coda:) C7
