[Chorus]
I was fine before I met you
I was wild and twenty-three
Out here drinking for a good time
Not trying 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
[Verse]
You're straddling the breakup fence
Trying not to hurt my fragile feelings
Well, you don't have to hang around at my expense
Or worry about if I can't take the truth
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm telling you
[Chorus]
I was fine before I met you
I was wild and twenty-three
Out here drinking for a good time
Not trying 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
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
But I was fine before I met you
So I'm getting back to being me
Out here drinking for a good time
Getting 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
[Outro]
I was fine before I met you
And I'll be just fine when you're gone
