Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Ever since I met you

Seems I can't forget you

The thought of you

Keeps runnin' through the back of my mind

[Verse 2]

Every time I'm near you

I get that urge to feel you

Just touchin' you

And lovin' you makes everything right (Tell me how you feel, baby)

[Chorus]

I never knew love before (Oh, no)

Then came you, you

Then came you

I never knew love before

Then came you

Then came you

You

[Verse 3]

Now that I have found you

How did I live without you? (I don't know, baby)

It's plain to see

You're all I need to satisfy me

[Verse 4]

I'm so darned proud of you

I wanna sing about you (Sing it, sing it, sing it, baby)

So all I know

You made love grow

By touchin' my hand

[Chorus]

Oh, I never knew love before

Then came you, you

Then came you

I never knew love before

Then came you

Then came you

[Bridge]

Hey, then came you

[Chorus]

Oh, I never knew love before

Then came you

Then came you

I never knew love before

Then came you

You, then came you

[Chorus]

Oh, I never knew love before (Yeah, you told me all about it)

Then, hey (Then came you, then came you)

Then came you (You, you)

I never knew love before, hey

Then came you (With your lovin' touch, yeah)

Then came you (Hey, hey)

[Chorus]

You know that I never knew love before, oh (I gotta hand it to you, baby)

Then came you (Got the power of love, got the power of love, baby)

Then came you

I never knew love before (Oh, yeah)

Then came you (My pride'll tell me get your lovin', I gotta get it)

Then came you (Hey, hey, yeah)

[Chorus]

Oh, I never knew love before

Then came you (Oh, baby)

Then came you (I got to have it, honey)

I never knew love before (I'm a contented man)

Then came you (Got the sweeter, sweeter, sweeter, sweeter, sweeter)

Then came you (Hey, hey, baby)
