Percy Sledge - When A Man Loves A Woman
PERCY SLEDGE - WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN
(C. Lewis; A. Wright)
Atlantic 584 001

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 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 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 can't ever see

When a man loves a woman
He can do no wrong
He can never own some other girl

Yes when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels'
Baby baby baby you're my world

When a man loves a woman
