verse one:

When a man loves a woman

Can't keep his mind on nothin' else

He'd trade the world

For a 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 puts her down.



verse two:

When a man loves a woman

Spend his very last dime

Trying to hold on to what he needs

He'd give up all his comforts

And sleep out in the rain

If she said it ought to be...



verse three:

When a man loves a woman

Spend his very last dime

Trying to hold on to what he needs

He'd give up all his comforts

Sleep out in the rain

If she said it ought to be...



verse four:

When a man loves a woman

Spend his very last dime

Trying to hold on to what he needs

He'd give up all his comforts

Sleep out in the rain

If she said it ought to be
