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 pa**ing 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
