Bruce Springsteen
I Wanna Marry You
[Verse 1]
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, darling, week after week
Raising two kids alone in this mixed-up world
Must be a lonely life for a working girl

[Chorus]
Little girl, I wanna marry you
Oh yeah, little girl, I wanna marry you
Yes I do, little girl, I wanna marry you

[Verse 2]
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 some fairytale
To say I'll make your dreams come true would be wrong
But maybe, darling, I could help them along

[Chorus]
Little girl, I wanna marry you
Oh yeah, little girl, I wanna marry you
Yes I do, little girl, I wanna marry you
[Bridge]
Oh
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, girl, makes a man hard

[Verse 3]
Oh darling
There's something happy and there's something sad
'Bout holding somebody oh so bad
I wear my love, darling, without shame
I'd be proud if you would wear my name

[Outro]
My girl
Ooh my girl
My mean girl
Oh girl, oh
Yeah
See you
