When a Man Loves a Woman
When a man loves a woman
He can't keep him mind on nothin else
He'd change the whole world
For the good thing he'd found
If she's bad I mean real bad he can't see it
She can never never do him no wrong
He'd turn his back on his best friend
Oh if he put har down
When a man loves a woman
He'll spend his very last dime
Tryin to hold on on he want to hold on
To what he think he need
But he don't need it
He'll give up all his comfort
Leave his happy home
And go sleep out in the rain
If that's the way if she tell him
Honey oh that's the way I want you to be
Cause this man sure loves you woman
Give you everything I had
Tryin to hold on hold on
To your high class love
Baby baby please please don't treat me bad
Ooh When a man loves a woman
But situation to be
Down deep in his soul
She could bring him
Oh he could feel such misery
If she plays him for a fool
Everybody in the community
Could know about it
He'll be the last one to know
You see lovin eyes lovin eyes
Can never see
One thing I want to say before
I leave you this evenin
You see I feel like it's good
To have a love that won't let you down
I feel like it's good
To have a love will stick by you
Closer than a brother
You see I had a love once
And I felt so good about it
I had to go tell all my friends
I went and told ma mother
I told my father I told my sister
And I told my brother
Said you just don't know
What this woman means to me
