I don't mean to be so insolent 
But you know it's cause I love you 
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 
And nobody's perfect baby 
And I'll always love you anyway 

Oh, Gabrielle 
The sun is shinning in your eyes 
Oh, Gabrielle 
I didn't mean to make you cry 
Oh, my sweet baby doll 
I put you above everything 
Oh, Gabrielle 
I love you til 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 

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

Gabrielle
Gabrielle

Well Gabrielle 
You know I love you baby 
Do nothing to hurt you baby 
But you know I got to love you anyway 
Oh, Gabrielle, you're so nice 
You know I, I love you baby 
Oh, my my my my my my my

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