Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I ain't lucky when it comes to love
I want it all but I never want to wait
You ain't like the ones I've known before
You stir up feelings that I can't ignore
This heart of mine finally understands
And baby, I've been held and I've been tied down
I've been kissed oh
But I ain't never been loved
Till I Was Loved By You
Now people told me that I was wrong
But I knew love was a sweeter song
I kept waiting for the perfect melody
Now in your arms it's plain as day
Knowing you was worth the wait
Come say you'll never give up on me
(Repeat Chorus twice)
Till I Was Loved By You
Till I Was Loved By You

I can't believe I got to see this for the first time in years! I rarely saw this video a time or two. But thanks for putting this up. I've still got the tape with that song and I know that song, every single word and all! Furthermore, I didn't know CMT had a channel in Europe. Thanks again! I loved this song to death!

This song brings back memories of my wild carefree days in Richmond, partying like there was no tomorrow having fun an old cheap apartment with roommates going to bars and parties scraping by. Although at the same time it was the time of our lives. 1994 was the year I love most.
