Before I Found You *

I’ve known my share of women
Made love from midnight ‘til dawn
Some of them left me heartbroken
Some of them used me like a pawn
One of them I named as my widow
Some of them I tried holding on to
Most of them I left to their sorrow
But that was before I found you

I’d been wandering from town to town
I never thought I’d settle down
I was always just passing through
But that has changed, since I found you

I’d been around the world and back
Fought a few unholy wars
I slept around in miserable shacks
My heart bears so many scars
I was through with love, or so I swore
I didn’t want to start anew
I really thought I knew the score
But that was before I found you

I’d been wandering from town to town
I never thought I’d settle down
I was always just passing through
But that has changed, since I found you

I’ve known my share of women
Craved for many more back then
I’ve been naughty and so untrue
But that was before I found you
