When a man loves a woman Can't keep his mind on nothin'else He'd trade the world For a good time 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 He spend his very last dime Trying to hold on to what he needs He'd given up all his comfort And sleep out in the rain If she said that's the way It ought to be When a man loves a woman He give you everything he has got (yeah) 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 Cause loving eyes can never see When a man loves a woman He give everything she ever needs When a man loves a woman I know exactly how he feels waiting to love me
