Lyrics

I hadn't anyone till you,

I didn't have anyone in my life until I met you.

I was a lonely one 'til you,

I felt lonely until you came into my life.

I used to lie awake and wonder if there could be

I used to stay awake, pondering if there was someone specially meant for me.

A someone in the wide world just made for me,

I wondered if there could be a person perfectly suited for me in the vast world.

Now I see

Now, I understand or realize.


I had to save my love for you, (I saved my love for you)

I had reserved my love exclusively for you. (I made a conscious decision to keep my love for you)

I never gave my love 'til you, (I saved it all for you)

I never shared my love with anyone else; I kept it solely for you.

And through my lonely heart demanding it,

Despite my lonely heart yearning for love, I held back until you came into my life.

Cupid took a hand in it,

Cupid, the god of love, played a role in bringing us together.

I hadn't anyone till you.

I didn't have anyone special in my life until I found you.


I kept my love in secrecy,

I kept my love a secret.

I put it under lock and key,

I guarded my love closely and didn't reveal it to others.

I had to save my love for you!

I reserved my love specifically for you.

I never gave my love away,

I never gave my love to anyone else.

I waited for that lucky day

I patiently waited for the fortunate day when I could share my love with you.

When I could give it to you

I anticipated the moment when I could express my love to you.


And through my lonely heart demanding it,

Despite my lonely heart, love was a demand I had, and Cupid intervened to fulfill it.

Cupid took a hand in it,

Cupid played a role in bringing us together and making our love happen.

I hadn't anyone till you.

I didn't have anyone special in my life until I found you.
