When a Man Loves a Woman Lyrics
[00:17.22] When a man loves a woman,
[00:22.33] Can't keep his mind on nothin' else,
[00:24.81] He'd change the world for the good thing he's found.
[00:29.14] If she is bad, he can't see it,
[00:33.38] She can do no wrong,
[00:37.50] Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down.
[00:43.78] When a man loves a woman,
[00:48.98] He'll spend his very last dime
[00:52.75] Tryin' to hold on to what he needs.
[00:58.34] He'd give up all his comforts
[01:03.09] And sleep out in the rain,
[01:07.35] If she said that's the way
[01:11.01] It ought to be
[01:14.89] Well, this man loves you, woman.
[01:20.00]
[01:22.25] I gave you everything I have,
[01:29.82] Tryin' to hold on to your heartless love.
[01:35.42] Baby, please don't treat me bad.
[01:42.74] When a man loves a woman,
[01:47.78] Down deep in his soul,
[01:51.64] She can bring him such misery.
[01:57.28] If she is playin' him for a fool,
[02:02.14] He's the last one to know.
[02:06.34] Lovin' eyes can never see
[02:11.70] When a man loves a woman
[02:17.09] He can do her no wrong,
[02:21.05] He can never hug
[02:27.14] Some other girl
[02:29.01] Yes, When a man loves a woman
[02:32.14] I know exactly how he feels,
[02:35.66] 'Cause baby, baby, you're my world
[02:41.66] When a man loves a woman...
[02:44.02]
[00:22.33] Can't keep his mind on nothin' else,
[00:24.81] He'd change the world for the good thing he's found.
[00:29.14] If she is bad, he can't see it,
[00:33.38] She can do no wrong,
[00:37.50] Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down.
[00:43.78] When a man loves a woman,
[00:48.98] He'll spend his very last dime
[00:52.75] Tryin' to hold on to what he needs.
[00:58.34] He'd give up all his comforts
[01:03.09] And sleep out in the rain,
[01:07.35] If she said that's the way
[01:11.01] It ought to be
[01:14.89] Well, this man loves you, woman.
[01:20.00]
[01:22.25] I gave you everything I have,
[01:29.82] Tryin' to hold on to your heartless love.
