I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You)
Roxette · Other Songs - Roxette
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...
