I Never Loved A Man Lyrics

Roxette

You're no good, heartbreaker
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 telling me you're no good

But they don't know that i'd leave you if i could
I guess i'm uptight but i'm stuck like glue

Cause i never, i never,
I never, no no loved a man the way that i, i love you

Some time ago i thought you should run out of fools
But i was so wrong you've got one 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
Kiss me once again don't you never say that we're through

Cause i never, i never,
I never, no no, loved a man the way that i love you...

I can't sleep at night and i can't eat a bite
I guess ill never be free since i've got your hooks in me
I never loved a man the way that i love you

You're no good, heartbreaker
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 telling me you're no good

But they don't know that i'd leave you if i could...
Kiss me once again don't you never say that we're through
Cause i never, i never,
I never, no no, loved a man the way that i love you...
