Aretha Franklin
I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)
[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
That you ain't no good
But oh, they don't know
That I'd leave you if I could
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 is a shame
How could you hurt me so bad?
Baby, you know that I'm the best thing
That you ever had
[Pre-Chorus]
Kiss me once again
Don't you never, never say that we 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
Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah

[Outro]
I ain't never loved a man
I ain't never loved a man, baby
Ain't never had a man hurt me so bad, no
Well, this is what I'm gonna do about it
I tell you, I'm gonna hold on to it
Yeah, I'm gonna hold on to it, yeah
