When a man loves a woman He can't keep his mind on nothin' else And he'd 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 puts her down When a man loves a woman He spend his very last dime Just tryin' to hold on, hold on to what he needs He'd given up all, all his comfort And sleep out in the rain If she said that's the way Babe, that's the way it ought to be When this man loves When this man really loves a woman I give you everything, I mean, everything Babe, everything I've got Just tryin' to hold on to your precious love Babe, babe please Please don't treat me bad This is a man's world This is a man's world But it wouldn't mean nothing, nothing Without a woman or a girl You see Man made the cars To take us over the road Man made the trains To carry the heavy loads Man made electric light To take us out of the dark Man made the boat for the water Like noah made the ark This is a man's world A man's world But it wouldn't mean nothing, nothing Without a woman or a girl When a man loves a woman Man makes them happy 'Cause another man makes them toys When a man loves a woman You know that man makes his bread To buy from another man The world woudn't mean nothing without a woman (without a woman) Woman or a girl When a man loves (oh, yeah) This is a man's world Oh, it's a man's world (ooh) But it wouldn't mean nothing Not one little thing Without a woman or a girl (when a man loves a woman) You know my need (a need, yeah) But it wouldn't mean nothing Not one little thing When a man loves a woman This is a man's world
