I thought I'd seen pretty girls in my time
That was before I met you
I never saw one that I wanted for mine
That was before I met you
I thought I was swinging the world
by its tail
I thought I could never be blue
I thought I'd been kissed and
I thought I'd been loved
That was before I met you
I wanted to ramble and always be free
That was before I met you
I never saw one that could ever hold me
That was before I met you
They say a man must reap what he's sown
Darlin', I hope that's not true
For once I made plans of living alone
But that was before I met you
