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 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
That was before I met you
They tell me I must reap just what I have sown
Darlin’ I hope that’s not true
For once I made plans about living alone
That was before I met you
[1] I thought I’d seen pretty [4] girls in my [1] time
That was before I met [5] you
[1] I never saw one that I [4] wanted for [1] mine
That was [5] before I met [1] you
[4] I thought I was swingin’ the [1] world by the tail
I thought I could never be [5] blue
[1] I thought I’d been kissed and [4] I thought I’d been [1] loved
But that was [5] before I met [1] you
I wanted to ramble and always be free
That was before I met you
I said that no woman could ever hold me
That was before I met you
They tell me I must reap just what I have sown
Darlin’ I hope that’s not true
For once I made plans about living alone
That was before I met you
