	Am I asking too much for you to stick around

Refrain 1:

	 C                 Dm
	Every boy wants a girl
	        G7           C
	He can trust to the very end
	(C)          Dm
	Baby, that's you
	           G7     C
	Won't you wait   but 'til then

	     C
	When I see lips beggin' to be kissed (Stop!)
	                      C7

Verse 2:

	Nature's takin' over my one-track mind
	Believe it or not, you're in my heart all the time
	All the girls are sayin' that you'll end up a fool
	For the time being, baby, live by the rules

Refrain 2:

	When I settle down
	I want one baby on my mind
	Forgive and forget
	And I'll make up for all lost time

	If she's put together fine and she's readin' my mind (Stop!)
	I can't stop (Stop!)  I can't stop myself
	                             (Stop!  Stop!)

[repeat chorus 1]

Refrain 3:

	There's a chapel in the pines
	Waiting for us around the bend
	Picture in your mind
	Love forever, but 'til then

	If she gives me a sign that she wants to make time (Stop!)
	I can't stop (Stop!)  I can't stop myself
	                             (Stop!  Stop!)
