James Brown
When a Man Loves a Woman/It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World
When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin’ else
He'd trade the world
For a 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
When a man loves a woman
I give you everything I got (yeah)
Trying to hold on
To your precious 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
Yes when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby, baby
I am a man
When a man loves a woman
This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn’t mean nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl
You see, man made the cars to take us over the road
Man made the trains to carry the heavy load
Man made the electric light to take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water like Noah made the ark
This is a man’s world, a man's world
But it wouldn’t mean nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl
Man thinks about a little baby girl and a baby boy
Man makes them happy 'cause man makes them toys
And after man makes everything, everything he can
You know that man makes that money to buy from another man
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't mean nothing, not one little thing
Without a woman or a girl, no, no
The world would mean nothing without a woman
Woman or a girl, oh yeah
This is a man’s world, oh it's a man's world
But it don't mean nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl, oh no, no
You know I need
But it wouldn't mean nothing, not one little thing
Without a woman or a girl
This is a man's world, this is a man's world
This is a man's world
