When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'll trade the world
For the good things he's found
If she's bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he puts 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
Well this man loves a woman
I gave you everything I had
Tryin' to hold on to your high class love
Baby, please don't treat me bad
When a man loves a woman
Deep down 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 never see
When a man loves a woman
He can never do her wrong
He'd never want some other girl
Yes when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
'Cause, baby, baby, baby
You're my world
