When a man loves a woman Can't keep his mind on nothin' else He's change 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 Spend his very last dime Tryin' 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 Well this man loves you, woman I gave you everything I had Tryin' to hold on to your heartless 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 plays him for a fool He's the last one to know Loving eyes can never see When a man loves a woman He can do her no wrong He could never hold some other girl Yes, when a man loves a woman I know exactly how he feels 'Cause baby, baby You're my whole world
