"When A Man Loves A Woman" lyrics
(originally by Percy Sledge)
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 puts 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 of 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 gave you everything I've got
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
Oh, she can bring him such misery
If she's playing him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Lovin' eyes can never see
Yes. When a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
Oh. He gave up everything he's got
When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothing else
And that's the way it ought to be
When a man loves a woman
When a man loves a woman
When a man loves a woman
When a man loves a woman
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're my world
When a man loves a woman
Gave her everything he's got
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 puts 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 of 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 gave you everything I've got
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
Oh, she can bring him such misery
If she's playing him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Lovin' eyes can never see
Yes. When a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
Oh. He gave up everything he's got
When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothing else
And that's the way it ought to be
When a man loves a woman
When a man loves a woman
When a man loves a woman
When a man loves a woman
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're my world
When a man loves a woman
Gave her everything he's got
When a man loves a woman
