I Hadn't Anyone Till You
From Solitude to Love: Julie London's Poetic Journey
Lyrics
I hadn't anyone till you,
I was without a romantic partner until I met you.
I was a lonely one 'til you,
I experienced loneliness until you came into my life.
I used to lie awake and wonder if there could be
I used to ponder if there was someone specially meant for me.
A someone in the wide world just made for me,
I wondered if there was a person in the world perfectly suited for me.
Now I see
Now I understand or realize.
I had to save my love for you, (I saved my love for you)
I reserved my love exclusively for you.
I never gave my love 'til you, (I saved it all for you)
I didn't share my love with anyone else; I kept it for you.
And through my lonely heart demanding it,
Despite my lonely heart needing love, I held back until the right person (you) appeared.
Cupid took a hand in it,
Cupid, the symbol of love, played a role in bringing us together.
I hadn't anyone till you.
I didn't have anyone special until I found you.
I kept my love in secrecy,
I kept my love hidden and private.
I put it under lock and key,
I safeguarded my love as if it were under lock and key.
I had to save my love for you!
My love was exclusively reserved for you.
I never gave my love away,
I didn't give my love to anyone else.
I waited for that lucky day
I patiently waited for the right moment to express my love to you.
When I could give it to you
I anticipated the day when I could give my love to you.
And through my lonely heart demanding it,
Despite my lonely heart, love was demanded, and Cupid played a role in bringing us together.
Cupid took a hand in it,
Cupid, the symbol of love, intervened in my love life.
I hadn't anyone till you.
I didn't have anyone special until I found you (reiteration).
