Capo I
Verse
When a man loves a woman, can't keep his mind on nothing else
He'd change the world, for the good thing 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
When a man loves a woman, spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all of his comforts, and sleep out in the rain
If she says that's the way it ought to be
Chorus
Well this man loves you, woman
I'll give you everything I can
Trying to hold on to your high class love
Baby, please don't treat me bad
Verse
When a man loves a woman, deep down in his soul,
She can bring him such misery
If she plays him for a fool, he's the last one to know
Loving eyes can never see
When a man loves a woman, he can do her no wrong,
He can never hold another girl
Yes, when a man loves a woman, I know exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby, you are my girl
