When a man loves a woman Can't keep his mind on nothing 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 he put her down When a man loves his woman Spend his last dime Trying to hold on to what he needs He'd give up all of his comforts Sleep out in the rain If she says that's the way it ought to be Well, this man loves you, woman I give you everything I can Just trying to hold on to your high-class love Baby, please, don't treat me bad For when a man loves his woman Deep down in his soul She can bring him such misery And if she plays him for a fool He's the last one to know Loving eyes never can see When a man loves his woman He can do her no wrong He can never hold some other girl Say, yeah, when a man loves his woman I know exactly how he feels Cause baby, baby, you're my girl
