[Verse 1]
You're no good heartbreaker
You're a liar and you're a cheat
I don't know why
C
I let you do these things to me
My friends keep tellin' me
That you ain't no good
Oh, Lord, but they don't know
That I'd leave you if I could
[Chorus 1]
C7
I guess I'm uptight
And I'm stuck like glue
F
C [N.C.]
'Cause I ain't never, I ain't never, I ain't never, no, no
F
[1: as per intro]
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
[Chorus 2]
Kiss me once again
Don't you never, never say that we're through
'Cause I ain't never - no! - never, no, no
Loved a man the way that I - I love you
[Bridge]
Bb7
I can't sleep at night
And I can't eat a bite
F7
I guess I'll never be free
C7
Since you got your hooks on me
Bb Ab
Oh, oh, oh yeah yeah
[Coda]
F
[continue as per intro]
I ain't never loved a man
I ain't never loved a man
Ain't never had a man that hurt me so bad
No - but this is just what I'm gonna do
I tell you I'm gonna hold on to him
And I'm gonna ho-o-old on to him [fade]
