  A E
        And when his d addy would visit he'd c ome along
When they'd gather 'round and started talking

Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise

Being good isn't always easy

Can I get away again tonight

Stealin' kisses from me on the sly

Tellin' me that he's all mine

Look at us here, how much we've grown
