         C7
I want a love that' s right,
                                  C7
But right is only half of what' s wrong  RIFF 1
         Dm7
I want a short haired girl
                                Dm7
Who sometimes wears it twice as long  RIFF 2

[Chorus]
    F                     F7             
Now I'm stepping out this old brown shoe
Ab             Ab7
  Baby, I'm in love with you
    F
I'm so glad you came here,
   Eaug                      Am             C7
It won't be the same now I'm telling you    RIFF 1

[Verse 2]
             C7
You know you pick me up 
                                 C7
From where some tried to drag me down  RIFF 1
           Dm7
And when I see your smile
                             Dm7
Replacing every thought less frown  RIFF 2

[Chorus]
F                      F7   
 So escaping from this zoo
Ab             Ab7
  Baby, I'm in love with you
    F
I'm so glad you came here
  Eaug                        Am
It won't be the same now when I'm with you

[Bridge]
G
 If I grow up I'll be a singer
                F         
Wearing rings on every finger
G
 Not worrying what they or you'll say
G                       F
 I'll live and love and maybe someday
F#dim                          G  G7
Who knows baby you may comfort me

 I may appear to be imperfect

I'm making sure that I'm not late  RIFF 2

[Chorus]
F                       F7
 For your sweet top lip I'm in the queue
Ab            Ab7
  Baby I'm in love with you
    F
I'm so glad you came here
   Eaug                       Am
It won't be the same now when I'm with you....

I'm so glad you came here
   Eaug                       Am
It won't be the same now when I'm with you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
