when a man loves a woman

when a man loves a woman

can't keep his mind on nothin'else

he'd trade the world

for a 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

and sleep out in the rain

if she said that's the way

it ought to be

when a man loves a woman

i give you everything i got bracketed

trying to hold on

to your precious love

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 e actly how he feels

cause baby baby baby

when a man loves a woman

when a man loves a woman

when a man loves a woman
