When a Man Loves a Woman Lyrics

When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'll trade the world for a good thing 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

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
Sleep out in the rain
If she says that's the way
It ought to be

Oh, this man loves a woman
And he gives everything he possesses
Trying to hold on to your heartless love
Baby, please don't treat me bad

When a man loves a woman
Down deep in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she's playing him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Lovin' eyes can never see
When a man loves a woman
He can do her no wrong
He can never love
Another girl

Yes, when a man loves a woman

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
