When a Man Loves a Woman Lyrics

[00:14.32] When a man loves a woman
[00:19.63] Can't keep his mind on nothing else
[00:23.45] He'll trade the world
[00:25.22] For the good thing he's found
[00:28.96] If she is bad, he can't see it
[00:34.30] She can do no wrong
[00:38.19] Turn his back on his best friend
[00:40.35] If he put her down
[00:43.68] When a man loves a woman
[00:48.99] Spend his very last dime
[00:52.95] Trying to hold on to what he needs
[00:58.54] He'd give up all his comfort
[01:04.04] Sleep out in the rain
[01:07.94] If she said that's the way it ought to be
[01:13.63]
[01:15.64] Well, this man loves a woman
[01:23.08] I gave you everything I had
[01:30.04] Trying to hold on to your high-class love
[01:36.41] Baby, ooh, please, don't treat me bad
[01:42.87] When a man loves a woman
[01:48.52] Down deep in his soul
[01:52.12] She can bring him such misery
[01:57.74] If she plays him for a fool, yeah
[02:03.26] He's the last one to know
[02:06.97] Loving eyes can't ever see
[02:12.59] When a man loves woman
[02:18.18] He can do her no wrong
[02:21.82] He can never want some other girl
[02:27.32] Yes, when a man loves a woman
[02:33.49] I know exactly how he feels
[02:34.48] Baby, baby, baby, you're my world
[02:42.60] When a man loves a woman
[02:48.30] I know exactly how he feels
[02:53.55]
