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 crows   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 your 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
