I guess before I met you I didn't know better But you swept in out of nowhere When I thought I'd never go there And you set the bar For this stubborn heart And when you met my family Everybody knew that you had me rapt I ain't ever loved no one like that And when I said I loved you I didn't care if you said it back I ain't ever loved no one like that If you'd have just kept walking And we'd never got to talking I could go on existing Not knowin' what I was missing But you set the bar For this stubborn heart When you met my family Everybody knew that you had me rapt I ain't ever loved no one like that And when I said I loved you I didn't care if you said it back I ain't ever loved no one like that And maybe I'll love again Then again, maybe I won't Maybe you feel the same Maybe you don't How would I know? 'Cause when you met my family Everybody knew that you had me rapt I ain't ever loved no one like that And when I said I loved ya I didn't care if you said it back I ain't ever loved no one like that I ain't ever loved no one like that I ain't ever loved no one like that I ain't ever loved no one like that
