I Never Loved a Man [The Way I Love You] lyrics

You're a no good heart breaker

You're a liar and you're a cheat

And I don't know why

I let you do these things to me

My friends keep telling me

That you ain't no good

But oh, but they don't know

That I'd leave you if I could

I guess I'm uptight

And I'm stuck like glue

'Cause I ain't never

I ain't never, I ain't never, no, no (loved a man)

(The way that I, I love you)

Some time ago I thought

You had run out of fools

But I was so wrong

You got one that you'll never lose

The way you treat me is a shame

How could you hurt me so bad

Baby, you know that I'm the best thing

That you ever had

Kiss me once again

Don'cha never, never say that we're through

Cause I ain't never

Never, Never, no, no (loved a man)

(The way that I, I love you)

I can't sleep at night

And I can't eat a bite

I guess I'll never be free

Since you got, your hooks, in me

Whoa, oh, oh

Yeah! Yeah!

I ain't never loved a man

I ain't never loved a man, baby

Ain't never had a man that hurt me so bad

No

Well, this is what I'm gonna do about it...
