When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd trade the world
For the good thing he's found
If she is bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he puts her down
When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on
To what he needs
He'd give up all his comforts
Sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way
It oughtta be, hey
When a man loves a woman, hey
I give you everything I've got
Trying to hold on to your precious love
Baby, baby please don't treat me bad
When a man loves a woman
Deep down in his soul
She can bring him
Such misery
If she is playing him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Loving eyes
Can never see
Yes when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
Cause, baby, baby
When a man loves a woman, oh
When a man loves a woman, yeah
When a man loves a woman
When a man, when a man, when a man loves a woman
Ooh
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd trade the world
For the good thing he's found
If she is bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he puts her down
When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on
To what he needs
He'd give up all his comforts
Sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way
It oughtta be, hey
When a man loves a woman, hey
I give you everything I've got
Trying to hold on to your precious love
Baby, baby please don't treat me bad
When a man loves a woman
Deep down in his soul
She can bring him
Such misery
If she is playing him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Loving eyes
Can never see
Yes when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
Cause, baby, baby
When a man loves a woman, oh
When a man loves a woman, yeah
When a man loves a woman
When a man, when a man, when a man loves a woman
Ooh
