Aretha Franklin
I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You) (Live in Paris, 1968)
[Verse 1]
You're a no good heartbreaker
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
They tell me that you ain't no good
But oh, they don't know
That I'd leave you if I could

[Chorus]
Well, I guess I'm uptight
And I'm stuck like glue
Because I ain't never (Never)
I tell you I ain't never (Never)
I ain't (Never)
Never, no, no
Loved a man, the way that I, I love you

[Verse 2]
Some time ago I thought
That you had run out of fools
But I was so wrong, so wrong, so wrong
You got one that you'll never lose
The way he treats me is a shame
How could he do me so bad
When baby baby, I'm the sweetest thing
That you ever had, yeah
[Chorus]
Kiss me once again
Don't you never, never say that we're through
(Never) I tell you I ain't never
(Never) I ain't
(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...
I guess I'll never be free
Since you got, your hooks, in me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Outro]
I ain't never loved a man before
Ain't never loved one the way I do this one, no no
And I wanna leave it right here with you in Paris tonight
I ain't never had one man do me as bad
Not as quite as bad as this one, no no, but that's alright
What I'm gonna do is hold him
Yeah, I'm gon' hold on to him now
Oh, hold
Yeah, hold on to him now, because I...
Thank you very much
