Then I Met You
Transformed by Love: The Supremes' Then I Met You
Lyrics
My life was getting used to
Expressing dissatisfaction with a monotonous life
A dull daily routine
Describing a boring daily routine
I was getting so fed up
Feeling discontent and frustrated
I just wanted to scream
Expressing a desire to release pent-up emotions
Up at six to work by nine
Describing the routine of waking up early for work
Home again by dinnertime
Highlighting the repetitive nature of daily life
Watch TV til half past ten
Listing activities like watching TV in the evening
Sleep and wake, and start again
Emphasizing the cyclical nature of life
Then, then I met you
Introducing the turning point - meeting someone
And the pattern of my life was changed
Acknowledging a significant change in life's pattern
My hum-drum world was re-arranged
Describing a transformation in the mundane world
Then, then I met you
Reinforcing the impact of meeting someone special
You've made everyday a holiday
Expressing joy and comparing life to a holiday
If it's not, it feels that way
Suggesting a positive shift in perception
Since I fell in love with you
Attributing the change to falling in love
I used to spend my weekends home
Describing a past routine of uneventful weekends
Wondering what to do
Expressing uncertainty about weekend plans
Sometimes I'd pick up the phone
Occasionally reaching out to friends for company
And call a friend or two
Recalling suggestions to go out and have fun
And they'd say, "let's go somewhere"
Preparing to socialize by removing curlers
I'd take the curlers from my hair
Describing a casual outing with friends
And go bowling with the girls
Engaging in activities like bowling
Then come home to my lonely world
Returning to a lonely world after socializing
Then, then I met you
Repeating the theme of a transformative encounter
And the pattern of my life was changed
Reiterating the impact on life's pattern
My hum-drum world was re-arranged
Stressing the rearrangement of the ordinary world
Then, then I met you
Affirming the positive changes due to love
You've made everyday a holiday
Emphasizing the everyday feeling like a holiday
If it's not, it feels that way
Indicating a heightened sense of joy
Since I fell in love with you
Attributing the positive shift to falling in love
I get silly when I pinch myself
Describing a feeling of disbelief or surreal happiness
I thought no one can see
Expressing a sense of secrecy or personal delight
But the last time I was loved like this
Recalling a past experience of profound love
I woke up from a dream
Referencing the emotional impact of the dream
Then, then I met you
Repeating the transformative effect of meeting someone
And the pattern of my life was changed
Reiterating the change in life's pattern
My hum drum world was re-arranged
Restating the rearrangement of the mundane world
Then, then I met you
Highlighting ongoing joy and fun in life
Now I'm having fun just like a child
Comparing the enjoyment to that of a child
In a playground, running wild
Describing carefree and unrestrained happiness
When, when I met you
Recalling the initial impact of meeting someone
You showed me life's happy side
Acknowledging the positive aspects of life shown by the person
Gave me love I've been denied
Expressing gratitude for love previously lacking
