When a man loves a woman Can't keep his mind on nothin' else He'd trade your world for the good thing he's found If she is bad, he can't see it, she can do no wrong He'll turn his back on his best friend if she puts him down When a man loves a woman he spend his very last dime Trying to hold on to everything he needs He'll give all of his comforts just to sleep out in the rain If she'll say that's the way it's gotta be Oh, this man loves this woman I give everything I have Trying to hold on to her sweet fine precious love Baby please don't make me feel so bad When a man loves a woman Deep down inside his soul she can bring him such misery If she plays him for a fool, he's the last one to know Lovin' eyes always too blind to see When a man loves a woman he can do her no wrong He can only love one woman at a time When a man loves a woman he got to treat that woman right If he don't he'll lose that woman That woman surely someday'll be mine When a man loves a woman he got to do the best he can Love her and keep her and treat her in every way When a man loves a woman he should make that sacrifice Promise he got to give to her his life
