I thought I had seen pretty girls in my time But that was before I met you I never saw one that I wanted for mine But that was before I met you I thought I was swinging the world by the tail I thought I could never be blue I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved But that was before I met you I thought I'd stay single always be free But that was before I met you I said that no sweet thang could ever hold me But that was before I met you I thought I was swinging the world by the tail I thought I could never be blue I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved But that was before I met you That was before I met you
