WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN

When a man loves a woman I give you everything I've got (yeah)
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else Trying to hold on
He'd trade the world To your precious love
For a good thing he's found Baby please don't treat me bad
If she is bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong When a man loves a woman
Turn his back on his best friend Deep down in his soul
If he puts her down She can bring him such misery
If she is playing him for a fool
When a man loves a woman He's the last one to know
Spend his very last dime Loving eyes can never see
Trying to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comforts Yes when a man loves a woman
And sleep out in the rain I now exactly how he feels
If she said that's the way 'Cause baby, baby, baby
It ought to be When a man loves a woman
I am a man
When a man loves a woman When a man loves a woman
