Babe I'm lost 
                   D       G 
Cause I don't know what to say 
G  G/F# Em     D

Want to make you my wife someday 

G           C 
Don’t wanna steal you 
           D       G 
Of a young woman’s light

Just wanna do you right

And I've known others

And I dream of children 
      D        G 
We can call our own 
          G    G/F#        Em          D 
Watch 'em run around in the front yard 
                           G 
From the front porch of our home
