Intro:
(G)-(Em)-(Am)-(D)
(G)-(Em)-(Am)-(D)

I'm an an(G)gel in dis(Em)guise
With dimpled (Am)cheeks and laughing (D)eyes.
Don't you (G)want me? (Em)I'm your (Am)baby(D).

In your (Am)heart, oh, hear my (D)call. Mother, (G)keep me!
(Em)I'm your (Am)baby(D).

Chorus:
Oh, (G)Mother, let me live,
Don't take away my life.
(Em)Mother, let me live,
You know it isn't right
To (Am)stop me being born,
(C)I want to be (D)yours.
Oh, (G)Mother, let me live,
Don't take away my life.
(Em)Mother, let me live, I want to live my life.
(Am)Mother, you will see
(C)When you look at me
(Am)And you hold me in your (D)arms
You'll fall in love with (G)me.

Like a (G)flower in your (Em)care,
I'm a (Am)gift so pure and (D)fair
Don't you (G)want me? (Em)I'm your (Am)baby(D).
My little (G)life please don't a(Em)bort,
Let me (Am)live, don't cut me (D)short
Mother, (G)keep me! (Em)I'm your (Am)baby(D).
