Songtext Until i met you Manhattan Transfer

Until i met you

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!
