I see you walking, baby
down the street
Pushing that baby carriage at your feet
I see the lonely ribbon in your hair
Tell me I am 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 marry 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 marry 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
