I traveled back in time to Philly, circa 1972, and stole this song from Sigma Sounds Studios...or was it off the air from WFIL-AM, Boss radio? If you like Motown and Philly Soul, you'll either dig or be offended. This is probably more Gamble and Huff and Thom Bell and Linda Creed, vs. Holland-Dozier-Holland. Think Spinners, O'Jays, Delfonics, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, etc. Right on, man, right on!

Lyrics
Never Saw A Woman
© January, 2016 By David Nyro
Never saw a woman before I saw you
Never saw a woman before I saw you
Ooo oooo
Verse 1:
Some have come and some have gone
Left a mark and then moved on
Some brought the dark and some the sun
I was blinded and I was dumb
But I never saw a woman before I saw you
Woman, I never knew
Never knew a woman before I knew you
It’s true, so true, so I never saw a woman
before I saw you.
I just never (even) knew
No, not even a clue
Oooo Oooooooo
There were those who had it made,
Had all the parts, parts well-played
I was wooed and I was swayed
But in the end, it was just a masquerade
But I never saw a woman before I saw you
Woman, I never knew
Never knew a woman before I knew you
It’s true, so true, so true
Ooo Ooooo
I was wooed and I was swayed
But in the end, it was just a masquerade
But I never saw a woman before I saw you
Woman, I never knew
Never knew a woman before I knew you
It’s true,
Oooo Ooo oooo
Never saw a woman before, I saw you, I saw you,
I never saw a woman before I saw you.
Never saw a woman
I never saw a woman before I saw you.
Never saw a woman
