Bass tab by: PJVillanueva
I want a love that's right,
But right is only half of what's wrong
I want a short haired girl
Who sometimes wears it twice as long
Now I'm stepping out this old brown shoe
Baby, I'm in love with you
I'm so glad you came here,
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 please, escape 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
If I grow up I'll be a singer
Wearing rings on every finger
Not worrying what they or you'll say
I'll live and love and maybe someday
Who knows baby you may comfort me
SOLO
I may appear to be imperfect
My love is something you can reject
I'm changing faster than the weather
If you and me should get together
Who knows maybe 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 your 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
