I used to be so fancy free,
|
But really lonesome as could be,
|
Till one lucky day, you came my way
|
I never knew what love was all about
|
UNTIL I MET YOU.
|
|
I knew it right from the start
|
|
I used to think there'd never be,
|
A girl who'd ever care for me,
|
Then, what d?a know, you made it so,
|
I never knew what love was all about,
|
UNTIL I MET YOU.
|
|
Once we start, then we'll never part
|
|
In my blue life,
|
No one at all would even care if I cried.
|
(Hurtin' inside)
|
In my new life,
|
I'm walkin' tall, I got a feelin' of pride
|
Glowin' inside.
|
|
And, lover, you're the reason why,
|
A lonely girl is ridin' high
|
Now, who do you see, lucky as me?
|
I never knew what love was all about,
|
UNTIL I MET YOU.
|
|
It's cherry pink -
|
And apple blossom white
|
That's right - pink and white
|
I be tellin' y' right
|
Who'da' ever believed a guy that
|
Hustled pool was such a romantic;
|
He really was frantic
|
|
He pursue_________d me
|
Chalkin?his cue
|
Lemme?tell y?now, without a doubt
|
Gettin' ready for a little romance
|
The rustic romeo pursued me
|
Now is his chance
|
He showed me such emotion that I finally
|
That's what t'do if he's got some eyes - - - - -
|
Took a notion to give in
|
F'Hittin on you
|
|
An' when y' took the notion
|
Love is a game
|
Did you imagine his emotion
|
Everybody plays it the same
|
Ever was the kind t' go f'coolin'
|
It's a game - y' play by the rules
|
|
Did 'ja think he might be jivin' and only foolin'
|
Tho y' know the winners are victims
|
Or did you appraise it as real?
|
An' losers are fools
|
|
Did you go f'what came?
|
Now that you're his
|
Or was love in the game?
|
He c'n put his mind t'tending t' biz
|
If love is the answer
|
'Cause thats how it is -
|
Then you'll never, ever be quite the same
|
When y' find love, that's the one thing
|
I'm sure you know that that's so
|
You'll be sure of -
|
|
Well I dropped m'heart now an' bent it
|
Said a few sincere words
|
Never dreamin' that I meant it
|
To tell you the truth, I never,
|
ever really meant to begin it
|
|
How can you explain true love?
|
How can I disdain true love?
|
Love is real exciting it's so exciting - That when it
|
Turned me around I didn't feel like fighting
|
|
It wouldn't a caught me
|
Except when I saw you I was surer than sure
|
This really couldn't be
|
But what'y-know
|
It really was so!
|
I'm ready f'settlin' right down
|
No more runnin' around
|
|
And that's the truth, really the truth,
|
Really ain't puttin' on no act.
|
Really a fact
|
Really, this ain't no time f'jivin'
|
'Cause what I'm tellin' y' really comes
|
Right from this heart of mine
|
An' lemme tell y' there's an awful lot o'
|
Sacrifice t' lay it on the line
|
|
What's this thing people call love
|
Something nobody has too much of
|
This game all misunderstand, but play it
|
|
One thing's sure; Love's what I'm in
|
Unloose cupid's bow, let it begin
|
That's it! Let that madness start!
|
There goes my heart!
|
|
It's got me stumblin', it's got me mumblin'
|
I'm like a ship without a rudder,
|
A car without wheels
|
Unless y' feel it, I can't reveal it
|
Y' gotta have it happen to y'
|
T' know how it feels
|
|
One thing's sure; Love has got me
|
I'm as certain as certain can be
|
I'm yours till eternity
|
|
From the day that we met
|
When you showed on the set
|
I remember it yet
|
I was knocked out
|
|
I took one look at you
|
And what else could I do
|
Love walked in and I knew
|
There was no doubt
|
No, no doubt
|
|
I love you, yes, I sure do, yes, I love you
|
Yes, you know it
|
I know that you knew from the start
|
|
Now we two become one
|
and we'll make it together
|
|
I never really knew what love was all about
|
UNTIL I MET YOU.
|
|
I never really knew what love was all about
|
UNTIL I MET YOU.
