THE MANHATTAN TRANSFER lyrics : "Until I Met You (Corner Pocket)"

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 pursued 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!
