When a Man Loves a Woman lyrics

When a man loves a woman

He can't keep his mind on nothin' else

He'll trade the world

For the good thing that he's found

If she's bad, he can't see it

She can do no wrong

Turn his back on his best friend

If he put her down

Yeah, when a man loves a woman

Oh, give up everything that he has

Tryin' to hold on to her precious love

Cryin', "Baby, baby, please don't treat me bad"

When a man loves a woman

Spend his very, very last dime

Tryin' to hold on to what he needs

Give up all his comforts

Go out and sleep out in the rain

If she said

"Baby, that's how it's gotta be"

Yeah, when a man loves a woman

Oh, he'd give up everything that he owns

See, all he's tryin' to do is hold on

For her precious love

Singin', "Baby, I said, please

Don't treat me bad"

Ooh, he can do her no wrong

He'd never harm that lovely girl

When a man loves a woman

All he can do

All he can do

Cry, "Baby, baby..."
