Since I Met You Baby
Ivory Joe Hunter Lyrics
Since I met you baby
My whole life has changed
Since I met you baby
My whole life has changed
And everybody tells me that I am not the same
I don't need nobody
To tell my troubles to
I don't need nobody
To tell my troubles to
'Cause since I met you baby, all I need is you
Since I met you baby
I'm a happy man
Since I met you baby
I'm a happy man
I'm gonna try to please you in every way I can

Since I met you baby
My whole life has changed
Since I met you baby
My whole life has changed
All my friends tell me I'm not the same
Let me tell you
Since I met you baby, I'm a happy man
Since I met you baby,
Looks like I'm a happy man
I'm gonna try and please you
In every way that I can
Let me tell you
I don't need nobody
To tell my troubles to
I don't need nobody
To tell my troubles to
Oh, 'cause since I met you baby
All I need is you
And oh, pretty baby
You know I love you baby
Better than I do myself
When I'm with you
I don't need nobody else
Love me in the morning
You got to love me late at night
Love me in the morning
You got to love me late at night
When you love me
I hope everything is all right

55 years ago I met a 18-year-old girl who asked me, " Can I help you?" She has never stopped asking that question. Am I a happy man? Oh for all these years this woman is the best one for me!

This one has been covered by several artists, but Ivory Joe's original is by far the best version.
Christopher Sullivan
Stan Smith did a great version with the Asylum Street Spankers.

I like both Sonny & Joe's version - but, I think I prefer Joe's mellow voice., just depends on the day & my mood lol
