GI thought I had seen pretty Cgirls in my Gtime
But that was before I met Dyou
I Gnever saw one that I Cwanted for Gmine
But that was beDfore I met you
Chorus
I Cthought I was swingin' the Gworld by the tail
I thought I could never be Dblue
I Gthought I'd been kissed and I Cthought I'd been Gloved
But that was beDfore I met you
b>v.2
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

b>v.3
They tell me I must reap just what I have sown
But darlin' I hope it's not true
For once't I made plans about livin' alone
But that was before I met you
Rpt. Ch.
