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
