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
