I Had'nt Been There Before

Jandek


I hardly saw you right away
But I heard about you, all good things 
It's important we go in the right direction 
And I took all those soft words 
Changed all the direction of things 
I said that I liked you, and that was the end of it all 
And the beginning of everything else 
I hadn't been there before, no no no no no no no no no I 
Hadn't been there before, no no no no no no no no no I 
Hadn't been there before 
I lost my rational brain 
I just thought everything was all right 
I dropped all my guard 
I was so happy, I still am 
Whatever it is that you are 
If what she said was right, that's a good place to start
