[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

[Refrain]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
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

[Refrain]
I thought I was swinging the world by the tail
I thought I could never be blue
I thought I'd been kissеd and
I thought I'd been loved
But that was before I mеt you
