When a man loves a woman

When a man loves a woman Trying to hold on

Can’t keep his mind on nothin’ else To your precious love
He’d trade the world Baby please don’t treat me bad
For a good thing he’s found
If she is bad, he can’t see it
She can do no wrong When a man loves a woman
Turn his back on his best friend Deep down in his soul
If he puts her down She can bring him such misery
If she is playing him for a fool
When a man loves a woman He’s the last one to know
Spend his very last dime Loving eyes can never see
Trying to hold on to what he needs
He’d give up all his comforts
And sleep out in the rain Yes when a man loves a woman
If she said that’s the way I know exactly how he feels
It ought to be ’cause baby, baby, baby
I am a man
When a man loves a woman
When a man loves a woman
I give you everything I got (yeah)
