[Verse 1]

You had it baby, you were seventeen years old

I was on the road trying to make it my home

You had a man but he wasn't no good to ya

I was with women I didn't know

[Pre-Chorus]

Foot loose, fancy free

Pretty lady, won't you dance with me?

'Cause one look from your eyes

And I knew that it was right this time

[Chorus]

Before you came around ay-ay-ay-ay

I couldn't figure out ay-ay-ay

Where I was going

I was wandering, wandering, wandering around

Before I found my way-ay-ay-ay

I was running like a stray-ay-ay-ay

And I was a lost boy, just a lost boy

Before you came around

[Verse 2]

Sweet country baby, you were singing at the airport

Raking in tips with the heel of your boot

I must have passed you by a hundred times before

Cupid saw it fit to let me dance with you

[Pre-Chorus]

Foot loose, fancy free

Pretty lady, won't you dance with me?

'Cause one look from your eyes

And I knew that it was right this time

[Chorus]

Before you came around ay-ay-ay-ay

I couldn't figure out ay-ay-ay

Where I was going

I was wandering, wandering, wandering around

Before I found my way-ay-ay-ay

I was running like a stray-ay-ay-ay

And I was a lost boy, just a lost boy

Before you came around

I was a lost boy, just a lost boy

Before you came around ay-ay-ay-ay

I couldn't figure out ay-ay-ay

Where I was going

I was wandering, wandering, wandering around

Before I found my way-ay-ay-ay

I was running like a stray-ay-ay-ay

And I was a lost boy, just a lost boy

[Outro]

Before you came around

Before you came around

Before you came around
