Before I Met You

(Charles L. Seitz - Joe Lewis - Elmar Rader - J.W. Denny)



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 wanted to ramble and always be free

But that was before I met you

I said that no woman 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.

They tell me I must reap just what I have sown

But darling I hope it's not true

For once I made plans about living alone

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.



But that was before I met you...
