When a man loves a woman

He is happy, maybe

When a man loves a woman

He is never alone, he's never alone

Baby, well you know that he's (ooh)

Bound to be heartbroken (heartbroken)

He's just bound to feel so ill at ease

Bound to nothing

Bound to lose, to lose yeah

When a man (when a man) loves a woman

He is broken, I think you know he is

When a man loves a woman

He is always alone, he's always alone

Baby, well you know that he's (ooh)

Bound to be so happy (so happy)

He's just bound to feel so ill at ease

That only he will never realise he's in love

In love, yeah

S'time I just get so sad

Take that, baby, y'know I get so sad

It's just

A man loves a woman (loves a woman)

He is jealous (jealous, jealous, jealous)

Baby, when a man loves a woman

It's the language of getting, having and holding

Baby, well you know that it's

Just like a great nation (great nation)

It's so bound to type up on the...

Typed-up on the wall

It's tired of joking - wet, wet with tears

So sad, yeah

When a man (when a man) loves a woman (loves a woman)

He is happy, maybe

Gets his orders from chaos

Some say nothing will change oh nothing will change

Baby, well you know that it's (ooh)

True like the Tractatus (Tractatus)

Oh, knows it's harder than the rest

So exciting, so divine

Divine, yeah

Ooh, his love is a heart breaking out

Ooh, his love is a heart breaking out

Ooh, his love is a heart breaking out

Oh, oh, you know that his love is a heart breaking out

When a man (when a man) loves a woman (loves a woman)

He is happy

When a man (man) loves a woman

He is always alone, he's always alone

Baby, well you know that he's

Bound to be heartbroken (heartbroken)

Bound to feel so ill at ease

He hardly stands, she doesn't understand

He's in love

In love, yeah
