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 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, whaddaya 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' ya right
Who'd've ever believed a guy that
Hustled pool was such a romantic;
He really was frantic

He pursue_________d me
(Chalkin' his cue)
Lemme tell ya 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 to do if he's got some eyes)
Took a notion to give in
(For hittin' on you)

And when you took the notion
(Love is a game)
Did you imagine his emotion
(Everybody plays it the same)
Ever was the kind to go for coolin'?
(It's a game - you play by the rules)

Did ya think he might be jivin' and only foolin'?
(Though you know the winners are victims)
Or did you appraise it as real?
(And losers are fools)

Did you go for what came?
(Now that you're his)
Or was love in the game?
(He can put his mind to tending to biz)
If love is the answer
('cause that's how it is)
Then you'll never, ever be quite the same
(When you find love, that's the one thing)
(You'll be sure of)
I'm sure you know that that's so

Well I dropped my heart now an' I 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 excitin' it's so excitin' - that when it
Turned me around I didn't feel like fightin'

It wouldn't a caught me
Except when I saw you I was surer than sure
This really couldn't be
But whadayknow
It really was so!
I'm ready for 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 for jivin'
'cause what I'm tellin' ya really comes
Right from this heart of mine
An' lemme tell ya there's an awful lot of
Sacrifice to lay it on the line

What's this thing people call love
Something nobody has 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 ya feel it, I can't reveal it
Ya gotta have it happen to ya
To 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!
