When a man loves a woman 
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else 
He'd trade the world 
For a 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 
Spend his very last dime 
Trying to hold on to what he needs 
He'd give up all [bad word] 
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 is playing him for a fool 
He's the last one to know 
Loving eyes can never see 

Yes when a man loves a woman 
I know exactly how he feels 
'Cause baby, baby, baby 
I am a man 
When a man loves a woman
