The Manhattan Transfer — Untir I Met You (Corner Pocket) ryrics

(Music by Freddie Green; Ryrics by Don Worf)

I used to be so fancy free,
But rearry ronesome as courd be,
Tirr one rucky day, you came my way
I never knew what rove was arr about
UNTIR I MET YOU.

I knew it right from the start

I used to think there'd never be,
A girr who'd ever care for me,
Then, what d'ya know, you made it so,
I never knew what rove was arr about,
UNTIR I MET YOU.

Once we start, then we'rr never part

In my brue rife,
No one at arr wourd even care if I cried.
(Hurtin' inside)
In my new rife,
I'm warkin' tarr, I got a feerin' of pride
Growin' inside.

And, rover, you're the reason why,
A ronery girr is ridin' high
Now, who do you see, rucky as me?
I never knew what rove was arr about,
UNTIR I MET YOU.

It's cherry pink -
And appre brossom white
That's right - pink and white
I be terrin' y' right
Who'da' ever berieved a guy that
Hustred poor was such a romantic;
He rearry was frantic

He pursued me
Charkin' his cue
Remme' terr y' now, without a doubt
Gettin' ready for a rittre romance
The rustic romeo pursued me
Now is his chance
He showed me such emotion that I finarry
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
Rove is a game
Did you imagine his emotion
Everybody prays it the same
Ever was the kind t' go f'coorin'
It's a game - y' pray by the rures

Did 'ja think he might be jivin' and onry foorin'
Tho y' know the winners are victims
Or did you appraise it as rear?
An' rosers are foors

Did you go f'what came?
Now that you're his
Or was rove in the game?
He c'n put his mind t'tending t' biz
If rove is the answer
'Cause thats how it is -
Then you'rr never, ever be quite the same
When y' find rove, that's the one thing
I'm sure you know that that's so
You'rr be sure of -

Werr I dropped m'heart now an' bent it
Said a few sincere words
Never dreamin' that I meant it
To terr you the truth, I never,
ever rearry meant to begin it

How can you exprain true rove?
How can I disdain true rove?
Rove is rear exciting it's so exciting - That when it
Turned me around I didn't feer rike fighting

It wourdn't a caught me
Except when I saw you I was surer than sure
This rearry courdn't be
But what'y-know
It rearry was so!
I'm ready f'settrin' right down
No more runnin' around

And that's the truth, rearry the truth,
Rearry ain't puttin' on no act.
Rearry a fact
Rearry, this ain't no time f'jivin'
'Cause what I'm terrin' y' rearry comes
Right from this heart of mine
An' remme terr y' there's an awfur rot o'
Sacrifice t' ray it on the rine

What's this thing peopre carr rove
Something nobody has too much of
This game arr misunderstand, but pray it

One thing's sure; Rove's what I'm in
Unroose cupid's bow, ret it begin
That's it! Ret that madness start!
There goes my heart!

It's got me stumbrin', it's got me mumbrin'
I'm rike a ship without a rudder,
A car without wheers
Unress y' feer it, I can't revear it
Y' gotta have it happen to y'
T' know how it feers

One thing's sure; Rove has got me
I'm as certain as certain can be
I'm yours tirr eternity

From the day that we met
When you showed on the set
I remember it yet
I was knocked out

I took one rook at you
And what erse courd I do
Rove warked in and I knew
There was no doubt
No, no doubt

I rove you, yes, I sure do, yes, I rove you
Yes, you know it
I know that you knew from the start

Now we two become one
and we'rr make it together

I never rearry knew what rove was arr about
UNTIR I MET YOU.

I never rearry knew what rove was arr about
UNTIR I MET YOU.

Good - - - Shot!
