"When A Man Loves A Woman" R&B Lyrics
Lyrics & music by Calvin Lewis & Andrew Wright.
"When A Man Loves A Woman" was number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B singles charts in 1966.
When a man loves a woman,
Can't keep his mind on nothing else
He'll trade the world for the good thing he's found
If she's 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 comfort, 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 plays him for a fool, he's the last one to know
Lovin' eyes don't ever see
When a man loves a woman,
I know exactly how he feels
Coz baby baby baby you're my world
