Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
At [C]one minute after two in the [F]morning,
[C]Six hours following my[D]
wife's confinement,
[C]Early on the day of [Fm]January twelfth,
[Bb]In r[Eb]oom twenty -two of[Cm]
the [G]New City Hospital,
[Eb]A brand new person sudde[Db]nly was,
[F#]Who never used [Ebm]to be.[Bb]
[Gm]He weighed six pounds
and [Ab]fourteen ounces,
And we [F]named him [Bb]af ter me.
[Gm]A son,[Ab] a son, [Gm]a so[G]n[C]
[Csus4]Love isn'[F]t everyth[G]ing
It cannot [Gm]buy the bills
[C]Or pay the [G]doctor [Gm]bills
[C]Love [Am]canno[Abdim]t eat th[C]e ho[Am]use
Or warm the [F]baby's formula
[C]When he [D]starts crying
[C]Love [F]isn't eve[G]rything
It won't [Gm]provide a [C]new sup[F]ply
fresh dry diapers
love [Bb]keeps you [Eb]on the run
[F]but [Am]when [F]it'[G]s said and[Abdim] done
[G]love [Gm]is what makes[Csus4] it
[C]sort of [F]fun, sort of fun,
[Db]sort [F]of fun, [Db]sort of [Fm]fun.
[F]Bicycle, tri[Db]cycle, [F]roller skates, [Fm]clothes,
[Db]that's how [C]the money [F]goes.[Db]
[F]Cowboy, Indian, hobby horse, guns,
that's where the money [Bb]runs
[Eb]At two m[Bb]inutes after four in the morning
Five hours following my [C]next confinement
[F]Early [Bb]on the day of Apri[Ebm]l 17th
[Ab]In r[Db]oom 22 of th[F#]e Ne[Fsus4]w City Hospita[F]l
[Db]A brand -new person
sud[A]denly [Bsus4]was
[B]Who [E]never used to be[Ab]
She [Fm]weighed five pounds
and [Gb]thirteen ounces,
and they [Eb]say she looks[Ab] like me,[Fm]
[Db]a girl[F#], a girl[Fm], a gi[F]rl![C]
[Csus4]Love isn'[F]t everyth[G]ing.
It cannot hire [C]a nurse,
nor fill [F]an empty [Gm]purse.
[C]Love can[F]not[G] pay[C] for mil[Am]k,
nor [F]put the satin ruffles
on her [C]party [Dm]dresses.
[C]Love [F]isn't eve[G]rything.
It cannot sign the [C]check
for her [F]pi an[Eb]o les[F]sons.
Love [Bb]kicks you [Eb]once or twice,
[F]But when you [G]pay [Abdim]the price,[E]
[G]Love is what mak[Csus4]es it sorta [C]nice,
[F]Sorta nice, sorta nic[F]e, sorta nice.
Baby dolls, mama dolls,
safety pins, clothes,
That's how the money [Eb]goes.
[F]Middy blouse, petticoat,
Buster Brown shoes
Gives you the money blues
Love [Bb]keeps you [Eb]on the go
[Faug]But when[F] you're feel[Abdim]ing low
[G]Love [Bdim]is what keeps[C] you humming
[G]While all the [Csus4]bills keep com[C]ing
[Gm]Love [Bb]is what m[C]akes it sort of fu[F]n
Sort of fun, sort of [Dm]fun, [Db]sort of fun
Love [Csus4]makes it[C][Csus4]
[C]sort of [F]fun[Dm]
[Gm][C]
