When a man loves a woman 

He can't keep his mind on nothing else

He'll 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 

Spend his very last dime

Tryin' to hold on to what he needs

He'd give up all his comforts 

Sleep out in the rain

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

Well this man loves a woman

I gave you everything I had

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 played him for a fool 

He's the last one to know

Lovin' eyes can't ever see

When a man loves a woman 

He can do her no wrong

He can never own some other girl

Yes when a man loves a woman

I know exactly how he feels

'Cause baby baby baby you're my world

When a man loves a woman
