I Was Fine Before I Met You Songtext

You're straddlin' the breakup fence
Tryin' not to hurt my fragile feelings
Well you don't have to hang around at my expense
Or worry about if I can take the truth
I'm tellin' you

I was fine before I met you
I was wild and twenty-three
Out here drinkin' for a good time
Not tryin' to kill a memory
It might be hard to forget you
Hope it don't take too damn long
But I was fine before I met you
So there ain't no reason why
I won't be fine when you're gone

It ain't like I'm the first one
Who took a chance and bet wrong
On the wrong one
Had to move on, say goodbye
But I was fine before I met you
So I'm getting' back to being me
Out here drinkin' for a good time
Gettin' all my drinks for free
It might be hard to forget you
But it won't take too damn long
I was fine before I met you
By the way it looks tonight
I'll be just fine when you're gone
I was fine before I met you
And I'll be just fine when you're gone
