The Contours — When A Man Loves A Woman

[Verse 1] When a man loves a woman He can't keep his mind on nothin' else Keeps tellin' the world what a 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 puts her down [Verse 2] 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 says that's the way It ought to be, yeah [Bridge] Well, this man loves his woman I give her every little thing I have Tryin' to hold on to your precious love Baby, please don't treat me bad Come on girl, now [Verse 3] When a man loves a woman Down deep in his soul She can bring him so much misery If she plays him for a fool He's the last one to know Lovin' eyes can never see [Interlude: Spoken] When a man loves a woman He can't keep his mind on nothin' else He keeps tellin' the world what a good thing he's found If she's bad, oh, if she's bad, he can't see it She can do no wrong He turns his back on his best friend if he puts her down [Verse 4] When a man loves a woman Down deep in his soul She can bring him so much misery If she plays him for a fool He's the last one to know Lovin' eyes can never see [Outro] Oh, he's the last one who knows 'Cause lovin' eyes can never see
