I, I, I, I, I want to love you
CEm
But if it's not right what can I do?
DCG
Everything will be alright
DCG
So baby get some sleep tonight
Verse 1G
Uh, I wish we could just pretend to be
DC
Like we always were before as happy as the Kennedy's
G
No one told Jackie about Marilyn's tendencies
DC
Ignorance is bliss when you're married half a century
G
Life is too short, trying to hold it all together
DC
It's gone before you know it but tonight could last forever
G
I wrote it out on paper but forgot to mail the letter
DC
And you could walk away but you won't find nothing better
G
It's whatever, I just hope that you remember
C
Then I said some shit that upset her
Em
Arguing in public, talking loud as Big sweater
C
She said, "You're always gone."
I said, "'The fuck do you expect from me?"
Em
Then she look at me and she said to me
ChorusCEm
I, I, I, I, I want to love you

DCG
Everything will be alright
DCG

Verse 2G
Uh, maybe in some other lifetime
DC
Or somewhere down the road we might meet up at the right time
G
Girls come with the profession when you write rhymes
DC
Caught me and she told me I'm a pig like I fight crime
G
Well, maybe G is just an asshole
DC
Fuck around with bitches alphalpha, little rascal
G
I swear my intentions aren't as evil as you think
DC
But temptation's always pushing people to the brink
G
Fuck, I always lose my judgement when I drink
C
My only wish is you would settle down and hear me out
Em
I know I haven't been completely honest and devout
C
It's difficult for me, these girls try to seek me out
Em
I try to talk it out but this is all she speak about
She said

I, I, I, I, I want to love you

Verse 3C
Uh, so if tonight turns out to be
Em
The last night before you peaced then walked out on me
C
Let's let it all hang out like a balcony
Em
One last time, the best is what you about to see
CEm
So make it worth it tonight, only so you know I never hurt you in spite
C
Love me like you never will again, it's our last time
Em
Tonight forget about the pastime
DCG
Everything will be alright
DCG
So baby get some sleep tonight
