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   How sweet and kind one woman can be   I never realized, people   How sweet and kind a woman can be      Oh, but when I looked in your eyes   I knew true love had come to me   Yeah      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
