Lyrics Percy Sledge

Percy Sledge

When A Man Loves A Woman

When a man loves a woman, he can't keep his mind on nothing else

He'll trade 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, sleep out in the rain

If she said that's the way it ought to be

Well, this man loves a woman

I gave you everything I had

Tryin' to hold on to your precious 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 played him for a fool, he's the last one to know

Lovin' eyes can't ever see

When a man loves a woman, he can do her no wrong

He can never own 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
