I used to be so fancy free,

But really lonesome as could be,

Till one lucky day, you came my way

I never knew what love was all about

Until I met you.



I knew it right from the start



I used to think thered never be,

A girl whod ever care for me,

Then, what dya know, you made it so,

I never knew what love was all about,

Until I met you.



Once we start, then well never part



In my blue life,

No one at all would even care if I cried.

(hurtin inside)

In my new life,

Im walkin tall, I got a feelin of pride

Glowin inside.



And, lover, youre the reason why,

A lonely girl is ridin high

Now, who do you see, lucky as me?

I never knew what love was all about,

Until I met you.



Its cherry pink -

And apple blossom white

Thats right - pink and white

I be tellin y right

Whoda ever believed a guy that

Hustled pool was such a romantic;

He really was frantic



He pursue_________d me

Chalkin? his cue

Lemme? tell y? now, without a doubt

Gettin ready for a little romance

The rustic romeo pursued me

Now is his chance

He showed me such emotion that I finally

Thats what tdo if hes got some eyes - - - - -

Took a notion to give in

Fhittin on you



An when y took the notion

Love is a game

Did you imagine his emotion

Everybody plays it the same

Ever was the kind t go fcoolin

Its a game - y play by the rules



Did ja think he might be jivin and only foolin

Tho y know the winners are victims

Or did you appraise it as real?

An losers are fools



Did you go fwhat came?

Now that youre his

Or was love in the game?

He cn put his mind ttending t biz

If love is the answer

cause thats how it is -

Then youll never, ever be quite the same

When y find love, thats the one thing

Im sure you know that thats so

Youll be sure of -



Well I dropped mheart now an bent it

Said a few sincere words

Never dreamin that I meant it

To tell you the truth, I never,

Ever really meant to begin it



How can you explain true love?

How can I disdain true love?

Love is real exciting its so exciting - that when it

Turned me around I didnt feel like fighting



It wouldnt a caught me

Except when I saw you I was surer than sure

This really couldnt be

But whaty-know

It really was so!

Im ready fsettlin right down

No more runnin around



And thats the truth, really the truth,

Really aint puttin on no act.

Really a fact

Really, this aint no time fjivin

cause what Im tellin y really comes

Right from this heart of mine

An lemme tell y theres an awful lot o

Sacrifice t lay it on the line



Whats this thing people call love

Something nobody has too much of

This game all misunderstand, but play it



One things sure; loves what Im in

Unloose cupids bow, let it begin

Thats it! let that madness start!

There goes my heart!



Its got me stumblin, its got me mumblin

Im like a ship without a rudder,

A car without wheels

Unless y feel it, I cant reveal it

Y gotta have it happen to y

T know how it feels



One things sure; love has got me

Im as certain as certain can be

Im yours till eternity



From the day that we met

When you showed on the set

I remember it yet

I was knocked out



I took one look at you

And what else could I do

Love walked in and I knew

There was no doubt

No, no doubt



I love you, yes, I sure do, yes, I love you

Yes, you know it

I know that you knew from the start



Now we two become one

And well make it together



I never really knew what love was all about

Until I met you.



I never really knew what love was all about

Until I met you.
