Before You Knew What Love Was Lyrics - Singles - Terence Trent Darby

My love is like fine wine 

So I let her breathe 

We settle into silence 

With the greatest ease 

My love's like a chalice 

So I lick the bowl 

In quiet preparation 

For a life time role 

But if I slip up 

She shakes my tree 

By not letting me forget 

When she says to me 

I was loving you 

Before you ever knew what love was 

My love reads like poetry 

Taken line by line 

Though her rhyming meter 

Throws me every time 

My love is a flower 

Of a different breed 

And her fertile ground 

Waits for my mystic seed 

But do I get it 

If I lose my way 

Soon I do regret it 

When I hear her say 

I was loving you 

Before you ever knew what love was 

But do I get it 

If I miss a beat 

Ioon I do regret it 

When she says to me 

I was loving you 

Before you ever knew what love was
