[Verse 1]

Mysterious lost weekends

In a land where time stands still

Where people fall in love again

Just for one more thrill


[Verse 2]

My girl and I went walkin'

By the Caribbean Sea

Someone snorkeled by, raised her head up high

And my girl said, "Who's she?"


[Chorus 1]

Pre-you, a friend of mine who's old, not new

Pre-you, she's just another girl that I once knew

Pleasant smile, a pretty face, another time, another place

Pre-you, what's a guy supposed to do?


[Verse 3]

We'll blame it on the weather

And the stars that shine above

For bringing us together

And filling us with love


[Verse 4]

So don't you fret, my lady

'Cause what we have is strong

Let her swim away, out into the bay

Your place is here with me


[Refrain]

She's pre-you


[Bridge]

Long ago we were close but the fire went out

She's a tease, can't you tell, that's what she's all about

Like an old broken clock on the wall, she's got nothin' to say

She was long ago, she's so yesterday


[Chorus]

She's pre-you, she's just a friend so don't be blue

Pre-you, only yesterday, just passin' through

Another page in history

Steppin' stone for you and me


[Outro]

Pre-you

Pre-you

Pre-you
