Would you say you were my baby...
          Riff 4
Would you always be my friend?
             Riff 1
If I was your mother,

Could I teach you what's right,
        Riff 3
Could I tell you stories, 
                      Riff 5- Dist.
Maybe tuck you in and kiss you sweet goodnight? Ohh...

Am        G               F
  Tell me what I've gotta do

To make my life mean more to you,

Just to see if you need me?

Tell me there's no other, 
                           Riff 2
To who you're telling your secrets,
              Riff 3
And would you tell me 'bout all the boys you been
                 Riff 5
Bringing home to meet me. Ohh...

To make my life mean more to you,

No one else you ever need
