	I dismissed this song as a mediocrity for my first several listens. The melody seemed pedestrian, and I was put off by the sentiment "This never happened to me before" which seems to be a diss of Paul's first wife Linda. Also, the line "this is the way it should be for lovers" always hit me funny. Is Paul among an elite class of people who are identified as 'lovers'? I could almost hear Michael Jackson's boast of "I'm a lover, not a fighter" in my head while listening to that line. Reading several very favorable reviews of this song caused me to listen anew and change my opinion somewhat...it is quite a nice song.	Bruce Beatlefan	October 17, 2006

Lyrics

I'm very sure, this never happened to me before
I met you and now I'm sure
This never happened before

Now I see, this is the way it's supposed to be
I met you and now I see
This is the way it should be

This is the way it should be, for lovers
They shouldn't go it alone
It's not so good when your on your own

So come to me, now we can be what we want to be
I love you and now I see
This is the way it should be
This is the way it should be

This is the way it should be, for lovers
They shouldn't go it alone
It's not so good when your on your own

I'm very sure, this never happened to me before
I met you and now I'm sure
This never happened before (This never happened before)
This never happened before (This never happened before)
This never happened before (This never happened before)
This never happened before
