I Hadn't Anyone Till You
From Solitude to Love: Louis Jordan's Melodic Journey
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 was lonely until you came into my life.
I used to lie awake and wonder if there could be
I used to stay awake, contemplating 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 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 kept my love exclusively for you (repeated).
I never gave my love 'til you, (I saved it all for you)
I never shared my love with anyone else; it was all reserved for you (repeated).
And through my lonely heart demanding it,
Despite my lonely heart urging for love, I saved it for you.
Cupid took a hand in it,
Cupid intervened in my life and played a role in bringing us together.
I hadn't anyone till you.
I didn't have anyone until I met you (repeated).
I kept my love in secrecy,
I kept my love hidden from others.
I put it under lock and key,
I protected my love with secrecy and caution.
I had to save my love for you!
I preserved my love exclusively for you (repeated).
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
Expressing the desire to give my love to you.
And through my lonely heart demanding it,
Despite my lonely heart urging for love, I saved it for you (repeated).
Cupid took a hand in it,
Cupid played a role in bringing us together (repeated).
I hadn't anyone till you.
I didn't have anyone until I met you (repeated).
