  			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}
