I thought I had 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.
CHORUS (each stanza)
I thought I was swingin'
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,
That was before I met you.
I
said that no woman could ever hold me,
But that
was before I met you.
They tell me I must reap just what I have sown,
Darlin', I hope it's not true.
For, once, I made plans about livin' alone,
That was before I met you.
