Jandek - I Had'nt Been There Before lyrics

I hardly saw you right away

But I heard about you, all good things

It's important we go in the right direction

And I took all those soft words

Changed all the direction of things

I said that I liked you, and that was the end of it all

And the beginning of everything else

I hadn't been there before, no no no no no no no no no I

Hadn't been there before, no no no no no no no no no I

Hadn't been there before

I lost my rational brain

I just thought everything was all right

I dropped all my guard

I was so happy, I still am

Whatever it is that you are

If what she said was right, that's a good place to start
