I Had'nt Been There Before Lyrics - Jandek

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
