Charlie Songtext
von The Milk Carton Kids

Charlie, I′ll make a deal with you

After which you can do anything you want to
I know I've got the leg up, as you′re still only
Made up

But baby you know I wrote this song for you
Don't go kissing boys, don't make a lot of
Noise

Let daddy sing his songs, and be real good
Just treat your teachers nice and find a
Healthy appetite

For what you really, really want to do

And if in fact your married before the day
I′m buried

Follow just my one and only rule

For everything you do just remember
Through and through

Be my best friend ′cause I'll be one for you
Charlie, you′ll be strong

Charlie, you'll be smart


Charlie, you′ll be anything you want to from
The start

Charlie, oh my baby, you'll be every bit the
Lady

That′ll go on breaking this old lonely heart

I know just how you'll be cause you'll be just
Like me

Charming, so alarming & a little crazy

The queen of some sand castle, an abrasive,
Rowdy hassle but kind and loving, fresh and
Bright, I know

Come to me with problems, I swear, I won′t
Go try to solve ′em

I'll only tell you everything I know

Like standing tall was all I had

Like boys are bad and love′s a fad

That no one ever learns to just let go
Charlie, there's just one little thing before
We meet some lovely spring


I have to go and you find you a nice momma
She′ll be just like me and you, perfect in just
What we do

A love as strong as father and his daughter
Oh, darling, Charlie
