When a Man Loves a Woman

When he held you in his arms When he held you in his arms and said "Baby, baby, baby, you are the only one for me" When a man loves a woman Can't keep his mind on nothing else He'll trade the world for the good thing he found Yeah, if she's 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 Give up all of his comforts Go out and sleep out in the rain If she says, "Baby, that is how it's gonna be" When a man loves a woman Give up everything that he has Tryin' to hold on to her precious love Cryin', "Baby, baby, please don't treat me bad" When a man loves a woman Down deep in his soul She can bring him such misery Yeah, she's bad, but, ooh-ooh He is the last one to know Loving eyes don't ever see So this man says he loves me He loves me, he gives me everything Everything, everything that he has Tryin' to hold on to my precious love Cryin', "Baby, baby, baby, don't you, don't you treat me, treat me bad" Oh-oh Though I'm leavin' him Oh, when a man loves a woman He can do her no wrong He could never hold another girl Oh, you tell me you love me, baby And you gonna ho-ho-ho-hold me tight Baby, baby This is a man's world No, no, oh no Change is gonna come In this man's world
