  			C7 
I want a love that's right, but right is only half of what's wrong 
         Dm7 
I want a short-haired girl who sometimes wears it twice as long 
        F7 
Now I'm stepping out this old brown shoe 
Ab 
Baby I'm in love with you 
    F7 
I'm so glad you came here,  
   E7                        Am 
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 escaping 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 
   
(Chorus:) 
G 
If I grow up I'll be a singer 
                 F 
Wearing rings on ev'ry finger 
G 
Not worrying what they or you'll say 
                       F 
I'll live and love and maybe someday 
F#o                            G7 
Who knows baby you may comfort me... 
 
(Instrumental:) C7 Dm7 F7 Ab F7 E7 Am 
   
(Chorus:) 
I may appear to be imperfect 
My love is something you can't reject 
I'm changing faster than the weather 
If you and me should get together 
Who knows baby 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 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 
I'm so glad you came here, it won't be the same now when I'm with you 
I'm so glad you came here, it won't be the same now when I'm with you 
 
(Coda:) C7
