I Never Meant to Love Him Etta James

[Intro]
Baby, I know you've been hearing lots of stories from your so called friends. About some of the things I've been doing. But listen, before you jump to conclusions I want you to listen to what I have to say, alright?

[Verse 1]
He was just someone to talk to, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Easy place to lay my problems down
But when I was lonely for you, baby, yeah yeah yeah
He always seemed, seemed to be around

[Chorus]
And I never, never, never, never, never, never meant to love him, no, no, no
And I never, never, never, never, never, never meant to care
All those empty nights
The lonely nights I spent without you there at night
He was always (Always there), always (Always there)
Always there (Always there), oh yeah, yeah (Always there)

[Verse 2]
And I never, never, never knew
I never knew when we said goodbye
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You'd be the one boy to hang your head
Hang your head and then cry
And it's so strange, so strange
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
How the game, how the game of love can change
