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