When a man loves a woman Can't keep his mind on nothin' else He'd trade the world for a 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 friends 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 of his comforts Sleep out in the rain If she said that's the way it oughta be Oh, this mean love's a woman I'd give everything I had Tryin' to hold on to your precious 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 playin' for a fool He's the last one to know Lovin' eyes will never see When a man loves a woman He can do her no wrong He can never own another girl Yes, when a man loves a woman I know exactly how he feels Cause baby, baby, you're my world Baby, baby, baby, you're my world
