I don't mean to be so insolent
But you know it's cause I love ya
The foundation of my malevolence
You know I'd never hurt you babe
Sometimes I might get edgy
But a man can sometimes be that way
Nobody's perfect baby
And I'll always love you anyway

Ohh, Gabrielle
The sun is shining in your eyes
Ohh, Gabrielle
I didn't mean to make you cry
Ohh, my sweet baby doll
I put you above everything
Ohh, Gabrielle
I love you till the day I die

Sometimes I feel like my old man
You know that's hard for me to say
And sometimes I just lose my head
Don't know why I get that way
I want to keep you happy darling
It could only work out that way
Nobody's perfect baby
And I'll always love you anyway
