When a man loves a woman, he can't keep his mind on nothing else He'll 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 a woman, spend his very last dime Tryin' to hold on to what he needs He'd give up all his comforts, sleep out in the rain If she said that's the way it ought to be Well, this man loves a woman I gave you everything I had Tryin' to hold on to your high cla** 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 plays him for a fool, he's the last one to know Lovin' eyes can't ever see When a man loves a woman, he can do her no wrong He can never own some other girl Yes, when a man loves a woman I know exactly how he feels 'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're my world When a man loves a woman I know exactly how he feels Baby, baby, baby, you're my world
