Before there could be me There had to be someone To warm me like the sun And help me awaken It seems like all of life Was already taken And just an observer Was all I'd ever be Before there could be me I needed a lover I had to have a friend Somebody who could free me And show me all of life Before I could see me Before I could be me Or even knew what to do, yeah There had to be you You, you, baby Mhm, you And show me all of life Before I could see me Before I could be me Or even knew what to do, yeah! There had to be you You, you, baby Glad I found you I needed a lover Before I could be me I had to have a friend, baby Before I could be me Someone to warm me Before I could see me Mm-hm, hey hey
