C She's got the mind of a child FC And a body peaking over the hill C Well she would if she could DG And she should but nobody will F With her nails painted red CC/BAm And her hair so unnaturally curled F Well I think that she may be GC The oldest baby in the world
C She's tasted the night life FC But it's left her with nothing but hunger
And all the available men DG Seem to think that they want something younger F But youth is a costume CC/BAm And the beauty within lies unfurled F And I think that she may be GC 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 FC But you know shes still afraid of the thunder
She keeps a head full of hope DG And a heart that's so full of wonder F She may look like a woman CC/BAm But she's still some daddy's little girl F And I think that she may be GC The oldest baby in the world F Yes I think that she may be GC The oldest baby in the world
