[Verse 1]
I thought I had seen pretty girls in my time
But that was before I met you
I never saw one that I wanted for mine
But that was before I met you

[Chorus]
I thought I was swinging 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

[Piano Solo]

[Slide Guitar Solo]

[Verse 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

[Chorus]
I thought I was swinging 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
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
I thought I was swinging 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
Yes, that was before I met you
