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
