Babydoll,
       Cadd2/                   
Do you believe they'll catch you when you fall?
                                            () ()
And when morning comes the sun is gonna shine
                      Cadd2/                
Don't forget your minor key's, your half-lit cigarette
                                                  
Cause when morning comes, god knows that you'll be mine

             
So let me in 
                                  
I'm ready to beg and to sing for my sins
                                     
Not leave it to chance and sweet coincidence
                                               
Well that's just crazy and you know it's true

             Cadd2/      
Well they sa - id you was long gone 
                                              
I just laughed and said alright, bring her home tonight
                    Cadd2/   
And I heard you was graciously put on
                                                    
I just laughed and said good night, guess it's alright


Babydoll,
            Cadd2/           
The men who hang like flowers in your hall
                                        () ()
Are asking when you're love is gonna show
    
And who knows why 
             Cadd2/          
The love you need will always pass you by
                                         
Well I heard it's true your love is gonna grow

             
So let me know 
                             
Cause I can stay or honey I can go
                          
Just to wherever you tell me so
                                              
And find my place there and there I'll stay

            Cadd2/       
Well they sa - id you was burned out 
                                                         
I just laughed and said come on, she's not burned she's just gone
                  Cadd2/      
And it took me too long till I found out 
                                    
Faces that you know the best, oh well I guess
                        Cadd2/        
And they laughed when you said you was leaving
                                              
Everybody knows you well, 'cept for me, can't you tell
                        Cadd2/       
And you watched from the wings of the late show
                                              
Roses by your feet, of red, all for me you said

   Cadd2/                                      
Babydoll... Babydoll... Babydoll... Babydoll
