When a Man Loves a Woman Lyrics

When a man loves a woman
He can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd tell the world about the good things he's found
If she is bad, he can't see it, no, no
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down

When a man loves a woman
He'll spend his very last dime, yes, he will
Tryin' to hold on to what he needs
He'll give up all of his comforts, well
Sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way it ought to be

When a man loves a woman
He gives up everything that he has
Just tryin' to hold on to your precious love
Oh, baby, baby, please don't treat me bad, no

When a man loves a woman, yeah, yeah
Down deep in his soul
Down deep in his soul
She'll bring him such misery, well
And if she's played him for a fool
He's the last one to know
'Cause lovin' eyes, ha!
Lovin' eyes can never see, no, no
Oh, when a really loves a woman, oh...
You know he'll sleep out in the rain
Could you do that for me, baby
If I said that's the way it ought to be, yeah

When a man loves a woman
She can do no wrong
He can never have
Never have another girl, no...
