Pre - You Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

Pre-You 

By: Jimmy Buffett, Ralph MacDonald, William Salter 

1988 

I was standing in an elevator in San Diego listening to two sailors talking. One had just returned from his honeymoon where he had run into his ex on the beach. The other sailor asked "What did you do?" and the first sailor replied "After she left I told my new wife that 'she was pre-you', and it worked." 

Mysterious lost weekends in a land where time stands still 

Where people fall in love again just for one more thrill 

My girl and I went walkin' by the Caribbean Sea 

Someone snorkeled by, raised her head up high 

And my girl said, "Who's she?"

Chorus: 

Pre-you 

A friend of mine who's old not new 

Pre-you 

She's just another girl that I once knew 

Pleasant smile, a pretty face 

Another time, another place 

Pre-you 

What's a guy supposed to do 

We'll blame it on the weather and the stars that shine above 

For bringing us together and filling us with love 

So don't you fret my lady 'cause what we have is strong 

Let her swim away, out into the bay 

Your place is here with me 

She's pre-you 

(sax solo)

Long ago we were close but the fire went out 

She's a tease can't you tell that's what she's all about 

Like an old broken clock on the wall she's got nothin' to say 

She was long ago 

She's so yesterday 

Chorus: 

She's pre-you 

She's just a friend so don't be blue 

Pre-you 

Only yesterday just passin' through 

Another page in history 

Steppin' stone for you and me 

Pre-you 

Pre-you 

Pre-you
