"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'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
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."
Well, this man loves you, woman
I gave you everything I had
Trying to hold on to your heartless 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
When a man loves a woman
I know exactly how it feels
'Cause, baby, baby, you're my world
When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs
Yes. When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothing else
He'd trade the world for the good thing he's found
Can't keep his mind on nothing else
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
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."
Well, this man loves you, woman
I gave you everything I had
Trying to hold on to your heartless 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
When a man loves a woman
I know exactly how it feels
'Cause, baby, baby, you're my world
When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs
Yes. When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothing else
He'd trade the world for the good thing he's found
