Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd 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 puts her down

When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Trying 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

When a man loves a woman
I give you everything I got (yeah)
Trying to hold on to
your precious 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's playing him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Loving eyes can never see

When a man loves a woman
I give you everything I got (yeah)
Trying to hold on to
your precious 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's playing him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Loving eyes can never see
