| I wanna make her love me till the rock ain’t stone
|
| And I wanna make her love me till the cows come home
|
| And I wanna make her love me till the fire don’t burn
|
| And I wanna make her love me till the world cease to turn
|
| Oh papa, I’m like a little lost lamb
|
| Reaching for a girl that’s out of reach
|
| Ah, sit right down and talk to me man to man
|
| Tell me how to practice what you used to preach
|
| Oh, papa used to tell me that a man could do
|
| Anything he ever put his heart into
|
| But I wanna make her love me till them seas run dry
|
| And I wanna make her love me till money can’t buy
|
| I wanna make her love me till the fifth week in May
|
| And I wanna make her love me till Ol' Man River runs away
|
| Oh, she’s a ditty and as pretty as Mona Lisa
|
| Papa’s rich and her mama’s proud
|
| I worked three jobs tryin' to get what might please her
|
| But still she lives in a world where I ain’t allowed
|
| Ah papa, you used to tell me it might take a little sweat
|
| But when a man wakes up he sure enough will get
|
| I wanna make her love me till the kingdom come
|
| I wanna make her love me till the cows come home
|
| I gonna make her love me till right is wrong
|
| Ah Hey, yeah Hey
|
| Ah, I can’t compete with Baby Face Pete
|
| And I ain’t no match for Lou
|
| He gave her a diamond, a diamond ring the other week
|
| And all I can give her is a heart so true
|
| Oh, papa used to say a true heart will reign
|
| What a true heart desires it sure enough will gain
|
| But I wanna make her love me till the rock ain’t stone
|
| I wanna make her love me till the cows come home
|
| I gonna make her love me till it snows in June
|
| Hey, hey, save on my baby, yeah, yeah, yeah |
