I want a short-haired girl who sometimes wears it twice as long. Now I'm steppin' outta this old brown shoe, Baby, I'm in love with you. So glad you came here, won't be the same now, I'm telling you. You know you pick me up From where some try to drag me down And when I see your smile Replacin' every thoughtless frown You got me excapin from the zoo Baby, I'm in love with you So glad you came here Won't be the same now, I'm tellin you If I grow up I'll be a singer, And wear rings on every finger. Not worryin' what they or you say, I'll live an' love and maybe someday, Who knows baby, You may comfort me I may appear to be imperfect, My love is sumthin' you can't reject I'm changin' faster than the weather If you and me should get together Who knows baby, you may comfort me..... I want a love that's yours, To miss is really sumthin' I'd hate. I'll get an early start, Makin' sure that I'm not late (Hey!) For your sweet top lip I'm in the queue, Baby I'm in love with you So glad you came here, Won't be the same now, I'm tellin' you (Hey yeah yeahhhh)
