When a man loves a woman, can't keep his mind on nothin' else He'd change the world for the good thing he's found If she is bad, he can 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 and sleep out in the rain If she said that's the way it ought to be When a man loves a woman, can't do everything as he plans Tryin' to hold on to your heartless love Baby, please don't treat me bad When a man loves a woman, dumped deep in his soul She can bring him such misery If she's blamin' for a fool, he's the last one to know Blood in her eyes, can never see When a man loves a woman, he can do no wrong He can never hold a woman down Yes, when a man loves a woman I know exactly how you feel My baby, please don't treat me bad When a man loves a woman
