                   G                         D    C         G   Am  C
Well I don't want much, I just wanna be a better man to my baby, Mmmhhh

Got a golden smile, heart overflow
               G            Am          C
But got us in love, but it wasn't enough

I'd swim the Mississippi River
              G
If you would give me another start, girl

Baby, please, I'm down on my knees begging
