[Verse 1]
You had it baby, you were seventeen years old
I was on the road trying to make it my home
You had a man but he wasn't no good to ya
I was with women I didn't know

[Pre-Chorus]
Foot loose, fancy free
Pretty lady, won't you dance with me?
'Cause one look from your eyes
And I knew that it was right this time

[Chorus]
Before you came around ay-ay-ay-ay
I couldn't figure out ay-ay-ay
Where I was going
I was wandering, wandering, wandering around
Before I found my way-ay-ay-ay
I was running like a stray-ay-ay-ay
And I was a lost boy, just a lost boy
Before you came around

[Verse 2]
Sweet country baby, you were singing at the airport
Raking in tips with the heel of your boot
I must have passed you by a hundred times before
Cupid saw it fit to let me dance with you
[Pre-Chorus]
Foot loose, fancy free
Pretty lady, won't you dance with me?
'Cause one look from your eyes
And I knew that it was right this time

[Chorus]
Before you came around ay-ay-ay-ay
I couldn't figure out ay-ay-ay
Where I was going
I was wandering, wandering, wandering around
Before I found my way-ay-ay-ay
I was running like a stray-ay-ay-ay
And I was a lost boy, just a lost boy
Before you came around
I was a lost boy, just a lost boy
Before you came around ay-ay-ay-ay
I couldn't figure out ay-ay-ay
Where I was going
I was wandering, wandering, wandering around
Before I found my way-ay-ay-ay
I was running like a stray-ay-ay-ay
And I was a lost boy, just a lost boy

[Outro]
Before you came around
Before you came around
Before you came around
