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 put her down.

When a man loves a woman, he'll spend his very last dime,
Tryin' to hold on to what he needs.
He'd 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, I gave you everything I have,
Tryin' to hold on, to your precious love
Baby, please don't treat me bad.

When a man loves a woman, down deep in his soul,
She can bring him such misery.
If she is playin' him for a fool,
He's the last one to know, lovin' eyes can never see.

When a man loves a woman, I'll give you everything I have
Tryin' 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,
He can bring him such misery, if she's playing him for a fool
He's the last one to know, loving eyes can never see

When a man loves a woman,
When a man loves a woman
When a man loves a woman
When a man, when a man loves a woman, Oooooh
