Tell her you care each time you speak,
Cdim Em7 F#m7 B7
Make it her birthday each day of the week,
Em7 Gdim DM7 Gm7
Bring her nice things, sugar-and-spice things --
D Em7 D B7
Roses and lollipops and lollipops and roses.
Em7 A7 F#m7 Bm7
One day she´ll smile, next day she´ll cry;
Cdim Em7 F#m7 B7
Minute to minute you´ll never know why.
Em7 Gdim DM7 Gm7
Coax her, pet her, better yet get her
D Em7 D DM7
Roses and lollipops and lollipops and roses.

We try acting grownup but, as a rule,
Dm7 G7 CM7 Am7 Dm7 G7 CM7 A7
We´re all little children, fresh from school
Em7 A7 F#m7 Bm7
So carry her books -- that´s how it starts;
Cdim Em7 F#m7 B7
Fourteen or forty, they´re kids in their hearts.
Em7 Gdim DM7 Gm7
Keep them handy, flowers and candy,
D Em7 D DM7
Roses and lollipops and lollipops and roses.
