C
She's got the mind of a child
F C
And a body peaking over the hill
C
Well she would if she could
D G
And she should but nobody will
F
With her nails painted red
C C/B Am
And her hair so unnaturally curled
F
Well I think that she may be
G C
The oldest baby in the world
C
She's tasted the night life
F C
But it's left her with nothing but hunger
And all the available men
D G
Seem to think that they want something younger
F
But youth is a costume
C C/B Am
And the beauty within lies unfurled
F
And I think that she may be
G C
The oldest baby in the world
F
Fast horses win races
And royal flushes beat aces
C
And everyone's playing to keep
D
So let's turn out the lights
G
And rock that old baby to sleep
C
She loves the sound of the rain
F C
But you know shes still afraid of the thunder
She keeps a head full of hope
D G
And a heart that's so full of wonder
F
She may look like a woman
C C/B Am
But she's still some daddy's little girl
F
And I think that she may be
G C
The oldest baby in the world
F
Yes I think that she may be
G C
The oldest baby in the world
