When a Man Loves a Woman
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd trade the world
For a good thing he's found
If she is bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong
He turns his back on his best friend if he puts her down
Yes, when a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all of his comforts
And sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way
It´s gotta be
Well this man loves the woman
(yes i do)
I give everything i have
Trying to hold on to her kind of love
Why if can she treat me bad?
When a man loves a woman
I´ve talked about it down deep in the soul
She can bring him such misery
If she´s playing him for a fool
He's the very last one to know
Loving eyes can never see
Yes when a man loves a woman
Oh, he spends his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all of his comforts
Oh, that fool sleeps out in the rain
If she said that's the way
It´s gotta be
I need it down deep in the soul
