She's got the Cmind of a child
And a Fbody peaking over the Chill
Well she Cwould if she could
And she Dshould but nobody Gwill
With her Fnails painted red
And her hair so unnaturally CcurledC/BAm
Well I Fthink that she may be
The Goldest baby in the Cworld

She's Ctasted the night life
But it's Fleft her with nothing but Chunger
And all the available men
Seem to Dthink that they want something Gyounger
But Fyouth is a costume
And the beauty within lies CunfurledC/BAm
And I Fthink that she may be
The Goldest baby in the Cworld

FFast horses win races

And royal flushes beat aces
And everyone's playing to Ckeep
So let's Dturn out the lights
And rock that old baby to Gsleep

She loves the Csound of the rain
But you Fknow shes still afraid of the Cthunder

She keeps a head full of hope
And a Dheart that's so full of Gwonder
She may Flook like a woman
But she's still some daddy's little CgirlC/BAm
And I Fthink that she may be
The Goldest baby in the Cworld
Yes I Fthink that she may be
The Goldest baby in the Cworld
