Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're a no good heart breaker
You're a liar and you're a cheat
I don't know why
I let you do these things to me
My friends keep tellin' me
That you ain't no good
Whoa-oh, but they don't know
That I'd leave you if I could
[PreChorus]
I guess I'm uptight
And I'm stuck like glue
[Chorus]
'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
[Verse 2]
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, it's a shame
How could you hurt me so bad?
Baby, you know that I'm the best thing
That you ever had
[PreChorus]
Kiss me once again
Don't you never, never say that we're through
[Chorus]
'Cause I ain't never
Never, never, no, no
Loved a man the way that I, I love you
[Bridge]
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
[Outro]
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
I tell ya, I'm gonna hold onto it
Yeah, I'm gonna hold onto it
