before i met you (a jazz duet​!​)

from erfect by amanda gates-elston

lyrics

you don't know how i danced before i met you.
i danced crazy.
you don't know how i romanced...
before you, i romanced crazy.
i hate to tell you this but i was somebody different, somebody who
i'm afraid you
wouldn't even like.
before i met you i could not cook.
maybe just an egg.
or boil some water.
before i met you, i couldn't even look anybody in the eye (avert my eyes, avert 'em)
but since i met you, i've become:
coooooooooooool! yeah!
inside? i'm still that weirdo, i'm afraid to tell you,
but i am telling you now on our anniversary,
happy anniversary, baby!
are you still in love with me
now that you know that i am
oh so loco, low, low to the ground loco. loco.
baby, sorry to tell you this, sorry to tell you this, but i just gotta be honest.

well if you'd permit me to say
that this comes as no surprise.
baby, you're my weirdo.
won't you permit me to say it again
i'll say it again.
i fell in love with that weirdo.
mmhhmm, that's you, baby, you, baby!
to me, you're not cool.
not at all, honey.
you're my weirdo.
oh oh oh oh oh yeah.

thanks! (awww!)
