Eb Db/Eb Fm/Eb
Listen to me, baby, you got to understand
Eb Db/Eb Fm/Eb
You`re old enough to know the makings of a man
Eb Db/Eb Fm/Eb
Listen to me, baby, it`s hard to settle down
Eb Db/Eb Fm/Eb
Am I asking too much for you to stick around

Every boy wants a girl

Baby, that`s you

Verse 2:
Nature`s takin` over my one-track mind
Believe it or not, you`re in my heart all the time
All the girls are sayin` that you`ll end up a fool
For the time being, baby, live by the rules
Refrain 2:
When I settle down
I want one baby on my mind
Forgive and forget
And I`ll make up for all lost time
If she`s put together fine and she`s readin` my mind (Stop!)
I can`t stop (Stop!) I can`t stop myself
(Stop! Stop!)

Refrain 3:
There`s a chapel in the pines
Waiting for us around the bend
Picture in your mind
Love forever, but `til then
If she gives me a sign that she wants to make time (Stop!)
I can`t stop (Stop!) I can`t stop myself
(Stop! Stop!)
[repeat chorus 2]
