Текст песни I Never Meant to Love Him - Etta James

(Spoken)
Baby, I know you've been hearing lots of stories from your so called friends. About some of the things i've been doin. But listen, before you jump to conclusions i want you to listen to what i have to say. . .alright. . .
He was just someone to talk to whoa ohohohoh
Easy place to lay my problems down
But when i was lonely for you baby yeah yeah yeah
He always seems seems to be around.
And i never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never meant to love him no.
And i never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never meant to care.
All those empty nights the lonely nights i spent without you there didn't i
He was always, always, always there oh yeah yeah
But i never, never, never knew,
I never knew when we said good bye
Yeah yeah yeah
You'd be the one boy to hang your head,
Hang your head and cry.
And it's so strange, so strange,
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
How the game,
How the game of love can change.
