[Eb]
[Ab]
[Eb] Listen to me baby, you gotta understand,
There's only enough time for the makings of a man.
Listen to me baby, it's hard to settle [Ab] down,
[Eb] Am I asking too much for you [Ab] to stick around?
[C] Every boy [Dm] wants a girl he [G] can trust to [C] the very end.
Baby that's [Dm] you, [G] won't you wait?
[C]
But to know them, when I say to let this baby do,
Because I can't stop now.

[C]
[Eb] Nature's taking over my high one track mind,
Believe it or not, you're in my heart all the [Ab] time.
[Eb] All the girls are saying that you'll end up a fool,
All the time being babied by [Ab] my rules.
[C] When I [Dm] settle down, [G] I want one [C] baby on my mind,
Forgive and [Dm] forget, [G] and I'll make up [C] for a whole lot of time.

[C]
There's a chapel [Dm] in the pines, [G] waiting for us [C]
around the bend,
Nature in your [Dm] mind, [G] love forever, [C]
but till then.
If she gives me a sign, that she wants to make time,
Stop!
I can't stop, stop.
