When a man loves a woman
Can’t keep his mind on nothin’ else
He’d change the world for the 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 put her down
–When a Man Loves a Woman, Percy Sledge (1966)

Percy Sledge: WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN Lyrics
When a man loves a woman
Can’t keep his mind on nothin’ else
He’d change the world for the 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 put her down
When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Tryin’ 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
Well, this man loves his woman
Gave you everything I have
Tryin’ to hold on to your hot-blood love
Baby, please don’t treat me bad
When a man loves a woman
Down deep in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she is playin’ him for a fool
He’s the last one to know
Lovin’ eyes can never see
Well, this man loves his woman
I gave you everything I have
Tryin’ to hold on to your hot-blood love
Baby, please don’t treat me bad
When a man loves a woman
Down deep in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she is playin’ him for a fool
He’s the last one to know
Lovin’ eyes can never see
When a man loves a woman
He can do her no wrong
He can never want some other girl
Yes, when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
‘Cause, baby, baby, baby you’re my world
When a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
‘Cause, baby, baby, baby you’re my world
When a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
‘Cause, baby, baby, baby you’re my world
