Until I Met You (corner Pocket) Lyrics - Manhattan Transfer

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 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 part 

In 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 pride 

Glowin' inside. 

And, lover, you're 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. 

It's cherry pink - 

And apple blossom white 

That's right - pink and white 

I be tellin' y' right 

Who'da' 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 

That's what t'do if he's got some eyes - - - - - 

Took a notion to give in 

F'Hittin 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 f'coolin' 

It's 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 f'what came? 

Now that you're his 

Or was love in the game? 

He c'n put his mind t'tending t' biz 

If love is the answer 

'Cause thats how it is - 

Then you'll never, ever be quite the same 

When y' find love, that's the one thing 

I'm sure you know that that's so 

You'll be sure of - 

Well I dropped m'heart 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 it's so exciting - That when it 

Turned me around I didn't feel like fighting 

It wouldn't a caught me 

Except when I saw you I was surer than sure 

This really couldn't be 

But what'y-know 

It really was so! 

I'm ready f'settlin' right down 

No more runnin' around 

And that's the truth, really the truth, 

Really ain't puttin' on no act. 

Really a fact 

Really, this ain't no time f'jivin' 

'Cause what I'm tellin' y' really comes 

Right from this heart of mine 

An' lemme tell y' there's an awful lot o' 

Sacrifice t' lay it on the line 

What's this thing people call love 

Something nobody has too much of 

This game all misunderstand, but play it 

One thing's sure; Love's what I'm in 

Unloose cupid's bow, let it begin 

That'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 wheels 

Unless y' feel it, I can't reveal it 

Y' gotta have it happen to y' 

T' know how it feels 

One thing's sure; Love has got me 

I'm as certain as certain can be 

I'm 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 we'll 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. 

Good - - - Shot!
