Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When a man loves a woman
He can't keep his mind on nothing else
He'd trade the world for the good thing he has found
If she's bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he puts her down
[Verse 2]
When a man loves a woman
He'd spend his very last dime
Just trying 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
Baby, that's the way it ought to be
[Verse 3]
When a man loves a woman
I give you everything, I mean everything I've got
Just trying to hold on
To your precious love
And baby, baby, please don't treat me bad
[Verse 4]
When a man loves a woman
Deep down in his soul
He knows she can bring him such misery
If she's playing him for a fool
He's the last one to know
'Cause her loving eyes, loving eyes can never see, no
[Verse 5]
Yes, when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby, ooh
[Verse 6]
When a man loves a woman
(When a man loves a woman)
When a man loves a woman
(When a man loves a woman)
Oh, when a man loves
(When a man loves a woman)
When a man really loves
I said when a man, when a man
(When a man loves a woman)
When a man really loves a woman
Oh, yeah
When a man really loves
Really, really loves a woman
