When a man loves a woman Can't keep his mind on nothin' else He'd 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 it puts 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 When a man loves a woman He'll give her everything he's got Tryin' to hold on to that precious love So don't, don't you treat him bad When a man loves a woman Deep down in his soul She can bring him such misery If she's playin' him for a fool He's the last one to know Lovin' eyes can never see Yes, when a man loves a woman I know exactly how it feels I know, I know, I know, I know When a man loves a woman Yes, when a man loves a woman When a man loves a woman
