When a man loves a woman, can't keep his mind on nothing else He'll trade the world for the good thing 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 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 comfort, 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 precious 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 don't ever see Well, this man loves a woman I gave you everything I had Tryin' to hold on to your precious love Baby, please don't treat me bad When a man loves a woman, I know exactly how he feels Coz baby baby baby you're my world
