when a man loves a woman

can't keep his mind on nothing else

he'll trade the world for the good thing he's found

if she's bad he can't see it

she can do no wrong

turn his back on his best friend

if he put her down

when a man loves a woman

spend his very last dime

trying to hold on to what he needs

he give up all of his comforts

and sleep out in the rain

if she said that's the way it ought to be

when a man loves a

woman

give her everything that he had yeah

trying to hold on to his precious love

crying baby baby please don't treat me bad

oh when a man loves a woman

down down deep in his soul

she can bring him such misery

and if she plays him for a fool

he's the last one to know

his loving eyes can never see

when a man loves a

woman

give her everything lydia

trying to hold on to his precious love

i'm crying baby baby please don't treat me bad

oh when a man loves a woman

down down down deep in his soul

she can bring him such misery

and if she plays him for a fool

he's the last one to know

love that i can never see

yeah yeah yeah

oh

oh

when a man loves a woman
