When a man loves a woman
He can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'll trade the world
For the good thing that he's found

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

Yeah, when a man loves a woman
Oh, 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
Spend his very, very last dime
Tryin' to hold on to what he needs

Give up all his comforts
Go out and sleep out in the rain
If she said
"Baby, that's how it's gotta be"

Yeah, when a man loves a woman
Oh, he'd give up everything that he owns
See, all he's tryin' to do is hold on
For her precious love
Singin', "Baby, I said, please
Don't treat me bad"

Ooh, he can do her no wrong
He'd never harm that lovely girl

When a man loves a woman
All he can do
All he can do
Cry, "Baby, baby..."
