Manhattan Transfer - Until I Met You Lyrics
I used to be so fancy free,But really lonesome as could be,Till one lucky day, you came my wayI never knew what love was all aboutUntil i met you.I knew it right from the startI used to think there'd never be,A girl who'd ever care for me,Then, what d’ya know, you made it so,I never knew what love was all about,Until i met you.Once we start, then we'll never partIn my blue life,No one at all would even care if i cried.(hurtin' inside)In my new life,I'm walkin' tall, i got a feelin' of prideGlowin' inside.And, lover, you're the reason why,A lonely girl is ridin' highNow, who do you see, lucky as me?I never knew what love was all about,Until i met you.It's cherry pink -And apple blossom whiteThat's right - pink and whiteI be tellin' y' rightWho'da' ever believed a guy thatHustled pool was such a romantic;He really was franticHe pursue_________d meChalkin?his cueLemme?tell y?now, without a doubtGettin' ready for a little romanceThe rustic romeo pursued meNow is his chanceHe showed me such emotion that i finallyThat's what t'do if he's got some eyes - - - - -Took a notion to give inF'hittin on youAn' when y' took the notionLove is a gameDid you imagine his emotionEverybody plays it the sameEver was the kind t' go f'coolin'It's a game - y' play by the rulesDid 'ja think he might be jivin' and only foolin'Tho y' know the winners are victimsOr did you appraise it as real?An' losers are foolsDid you go f'what came?Now that you're hisOr was love in the game?He c'n put his mind t'tending t' bizIf love is the answer'cause thats how it is -Then you'll never, ever be quite the sameWhen y' find love, that's the one thingI'm sure you know that that's soYou'll be sure of -Well i dropped m'heart now an' bent itSaid a few sincere wordsNever dreamin' that i meant itTo tell you the truth, i never,Ever really meant to begin itHow can you explain true love?How can i disdain true love?Love is real exciting it's so exciting - that when itTurned me around i didn't feel like fightingIt wouldn't a caught meExcept when i saw you i was surer than sureThis really couldn't beBut what'y-knowIt really was so!I'm ready f'settlin' right downNo more runnin' aroundAnd that's the truth, really the truth,Really ain't puttin' on no act.Really a factReally, this ain't no time f'jivin''cause what i'm tellin' y' really comesRight from this heart of mineAn' lemme tell y' there's an awful lot o'Sacrifice t' lay it on the lineWhat's this thing people call loveSomething nobody has too much ofThis game all misunderstand, but play itOne thing's sure; love's what i'm inUnloose cupid's bow, let it beginThat's it! let that madness start!There goes my heart!It's got me stumblin', it's got me mumblin'I'm like a ship without a rudder,A car without wheelsUnless y' feel it, i can't reveal itY' gotta have it happen to y'T' know how it feelsOne thing's sure; love has got meI'm as certain as certain can beI'm yours till eternityFrom the day that we metWhen you showed on the setI remember it yetI was knocked outI took one look at youAnd what else could i doLove walked in and i knewThere was no doubtNo, no doubtI love you, yes, i sure do, yes, i love youYes, you know itI know that you knew from the startNow we two become oneAnd we'll make it togetherI never really knew what love was all aboutUntil i met you.I never really knew what love was all aboutUntil i met you.Good - - - shot!
