Betcha Never Been Loved (Like This Before)

[Intro]
I betcha never been loved like this before
Oh baby, oh baby
I betcha never been loved like this before
Oh baby, oh baby

[Verse 1]
I get up each and every day
Go to work and bring you all my pay
Some of my friends say you dominate me, baby
I let you come and go as you please
That don't stop my jealousies
There's no two ways about it: you got a hold on me
You see, I took an oath, placed a ring on your left hand
When I said the words, I meant it
Your wish is my command

[Chorus]
(Betcha never been loved like this before) never!
You ain't never had nobody to love you like this before, baby
(Oh baby) I treat you so doggone good (oh baby)
Everybody wish they could get that kind of treatment, baby
(I betcha never been loved like this before)
Oh baby, I'm gonna take care of ya all your life
(Oh baby) there's no sacrifice I wouldn't do for you (oh baby)

[Verse 2]
Love don't have to mean you getting down with me
Or me getting down with you
What people have to realize it's the little things that count too
I'm always there to help you do the cooking
The cleaning, and the laundry too
I've got the greatest, greatest respect for you
So never worry about another woman taking your place
I wouldn't trade you, no baby, for anything on God's sweet earth

[Chorus]
(Betcha never been loved like this before) oh, oh, oh-oh baby
(Oh baby) I know you know what I'm talkin' about (oh baby)
You don't believe me – you can ask your doggone friends
(I betcha never been loved like this before)
Never, never been loved like this before, baby
I'm makin' sure I'm treatin' you the best I can (oh baby)
I'm treatin' you like a natural grown man would do it (oh baby)

[Bridge]
Baby… all of your so called friends
Always laughing and smiling in your face
Believe me, baby – they all want to take your place
Hahaha! If you don't believe me, ask them

[Outro]
(Betcha never been loved like this before) oh… ask them, baby
(Oh baby) If you don't believe me, ask them (oh baby), haha
Don't mistake kindness for weakness, baby
(I betcha never been loved like this before)
I want you to just remember: love is a two-way street
(Oh baby) You always gotta give
(Oh baby) In order to receive, remember it, baby
(I betcha never been loved like this before)
I don't ever want you to walk in the rain or in the snow
I'll crank up that old car, put you on my back and take ya
(Oh baby) If you don't go away, anyway you wanna go, baby
(Oh baby) oh… baby…
(I betcha never been loved like this before)
I know you ain't never been treated like this before, baby
(Oh baby…)
