(Originally written by C. Lewis & A. Wright)



When a man loves a woman

Can't keep his mind on nothing else

He would trade the world

For the good thing he thinks he's found, yea

If she's bad he can't see it

No, she can do no wrong

Turn his back on his best friend

If he put her down



When a man loves a woman

He'd give her everything, everything he's got to give

Oh Lord, yes he will

Tryin' to hold on to your precious love

Baby, please don't treat me bad



When a man loves a woman

Spend his very last dime

Trying to hold on, to the good thing he thinks he's found, yea

Give up all his comforts, sleep out in the pouring rain

Good Lord if that's the way she says it's oughta be



When a man loves a woman

He'll give her everything, everything he's got to give

Oh Lord, yes he will

Tryin' to hold on to your precious love

Baby, please don't treat me bad



When a man loves a woman

He'll give her everything, everything he's got to give

Oh Lord, yes he will

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 very soul

She can bring him such misery

If she is playing him for a fool

Ya know he's the very last one to know

Lovin' eyes can never see

You know that he's as blind as he can be



When a man loves a woman

He loves her so
