(George Harrison)

I want a love that's right
Right is only half of what's wrong
I want a short-haired girl
Who sometimes wears it twice as long

Now I'm steppin' out this old brown shoe
Baby I'm in love with you
I'm so glad you came here, it won't be the same
Now I'm telling you

Though you pick me up
From where some try to drag me down
And when I see your smile
Replacing ev'ry thoughtless frown

So escaping from a zoo
Baby I'm in love with you
I'm so glad you came here, it won't be the same
When I'm with you

If I'll grow up I'll be a singer
Wearing rings on ev'ry finger
Not worrying about what they or you'll say
I'll live and love and maybe someday, who knows baby
You may comfort me (hey!)

I may appear to be imperfect
My love is something you can't reject
I'm changing faster than the weather
If you and me should get together who knows baby
You may comfort me

I know my love is yours
To miss that love is something I'd hate
I'll make an early start
I'm making sure that I'm not late

For your sweet lip I'm in the queue
Baby I'm in love with you
I'm so glad you came here, it won't be the same
When I'm with you

I'm so glad you came here
It won't be the same now when I'm with you

(Yeah yeah yeah)
(Tu-la, tu-la-tu) (repeat and fade)
