When I first met you baby,
I didn't even know your name.
When I first met you baby,
I didn't even know your name.
Oh, I was feelin' low on the ground.
Bad luck and evil women were to blame.

I never realized

I never realized, people,
How sweet and kind a woman can be.
Oh, but when I looked in your eyes,
I knew [bad word] love [bad word] to me.

Take my hand,
Hold it tight and don't let go.
Take my hand, take my hand,
Hold it tight and don't let go.
'Cause our love is like a merry-go-round,
Forever and ever round it goes.
