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.

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.

But that was before I met you,
I said that no woman could ever hold me,
But that was before I met you.
