The first time that I met you
I just left you alone
But then it seemed I couldn't forget you
I had to try and get you all alone
And maybe take advantage of you
But I never thought that I'd love you
I never paid no attention
When I saw you in a crowd
But baby I had every intention
Of gettin' a good hold on you
And never lettin' go of you
And maybe make advances on you
But I never thought that I'd love you
Saw you waiting for a reaction
As you were passing by
Avoiding all the easy action
The satisfaction lovers never deny
I must've had a delayed reaction
I couldn't rest until I had you for mine
Had to have our lovin' all of the time
But I never thought that I'd love you
Well I read your letter this morning
I didn't know what to think
You took me to the edge of the river
And now I'm feeling like I'm on the brink
Of baby losing you
But I never thought that I'd love you
I just left you alone
But then it seemed I couldn't forget you
I had to try and get you all alone
And maybe take advantage of you
But I never thought that I'd love you
I never paid no attention
When I saw you in a crowd
But baby I had every intention
Of gettin' a good hold on you
And never lettin' go of you
And maybe make advances on you
But I never thought that I'd love you
Saw you waiting for a reaction
As you were passing by
Avoiding all the easy action
The satisfaction lovers never deny
I must've had a delayed reaction
I couldn't rest until I had you for mine
Had to have our lovin' all of the time
But I never thought that I'd love you
Well I read your letter this morning
I didn't know what to think
You took me to the edge of the river
And now I'm feeling like I'm on the brink
Of baby losing you
But I never thought that I'd love you
