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.]

	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]
