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 I thought I was swinging the world by its tail And I thought that I could never be blue I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved That was before I met you They tell me that I must reap what I've sown But I hope that that isn't true For once I made plans for living alone That was before I met you
