[Verse 1]
Bb
That's all I wanted

Something special, something sacred
Bb
In your eyes
For just one moment
Ab
To be bold and naked
At your side
Gb Ab
Sometimes I think that you'll never
Bb
Understand me
Gb Ab
Maybe this time is forever
F
Say it can be
Bb
That's all you wanted
Ab
Something special, someone sacred
Bb
In your life
Just for one moment
Ab
To be warm and naked
At my side
Gb Ab
Sometimes I think that you'll never
Bb
Understand me
Gb Ab
But something tells me together
F
We'd be happy
[Hook]
(Baby)
Bb
I will be your father figure
(Oh baby)
Put your tiny hand in mine
(I'd love to)
Ab
I will be your preacher teacher
(Be your daddy)
Anything you have in mind
(It would make me)
Bb
I will be your father figure
(Very happy)
I have had enough of crime
(Please let me)
Ab
I will be the one who loves you
Bb
Until the end of time

That's all I wanted

Understands me

If we have faith in each other
