I didn’t know I liked this song until Youtube infected me 🙂
I was just listening to this Hungarian tutorial channel by Dolores Kostic and in the first video, this song was playing in the background. I don’t know why but instead of being distracted by the music, it actually helped me remember the phrases. I guess this is what Michel Thomas meant that you have to approach learning in a relaxed manner — never study when you are stressed. Makes sense 🙂
I love how this song talks about how good things sneak up on you unexpectedly. You are floored (probably literally) but you are all the better, happier because of it. I guess we’ve all been in that stage where we could say that this song speaks of our feelings exactly. Well, except for the slightly jaded part in the first stanza — for me, at least! 🙂
I was alone thinking I was just fine
I wasn’t looking for anyone to be mine
I thought love was just a fabrication
A train that wouldn’t stop at my station
Home, alone, that was my consignment
Solitary confinement
So when we met I was skirting around you
I didn’t know I was looking for love
Until I found you
I didn’t know I was looking for love
Until I found you, honey
I didn’t know I was looking for love
Until I found you, baby, oh no
Didn’t know I was looking for love
Didn’t know I was looking for love
‘Cause there you stood and I would
Oh I wonder could I say how I felt
And not be misunderstood
A thousand stars came into my system
I never knew how much I had missed them
Slap on the map of my heart you landed
I was coy but you made me candid
And now the planets circle around you
I didn’t know I was looking for love
Until I found you
I didn’t know I was looking for love
Until I found you, baby
I didn’t know I was looking for love
Until I found you, baby
Didn’t know I was looking for love
Didn’t know I was looking for love
So we built from here with love the foundation
In a world of tears, one consolation
Now you’re here, there’s a full brass band
Playing in me like a wonderland
And if you left I would be two-foot small
And every tear would be a waterfall
Soundless, boundless, I surround you
I didn’t know I was looking for love
Until I found you
I just didn’t know
I didn’t know I was looking for love
Until I found you
I didn’t know I was looking for love
(I just didn’t know)
Until I found you
I didn’t know I was looking for love
(I just didn’t know)
Didn’t know I was looking for love
Until I found you, baby
