A E F#m A
When a man loves a woman, can't keep his mind on nothing else
D E7 A E
He'd change the world, for the good things he's found
A E F#m A
If she's bad, he can't see it, she can do no wrong,
D E7 A E
Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down
A E F#m A
When a man loves a woman, spend his very last dime
D E7 A E
Trying to hold on to what he needs
A E F#m A
He'd give up all of his comforts, and sleep out in the rain
D E7 A A7
If she says that's the way it ought to be
D A A7
Well this man loves you, woman
D A A7
Give you everything I can
D A E F#m
Trying to hold on to your high class love
B7 E E7
Baby, please don't treat me bad
A E F#m A
When a man loves a woman, deep down in his soul,
D E7 A E
She can bring him such misery
A E F#m A
If she plays him for a fool, he's the last one to know
D E7 A A7
Loving eyes can never see
D A A7
Well this man loves you, woman
D A A7
Give you everything I can
D A E F#m
Trying to hold on to your high class love
B7 E E7
Baby, please don't treat me bad
A E F#m A
When a man loves a woman, she can do no wrong,
D E7 A E
He can never look another girl
A E F#m A
Yes, when a man loves a woman, I know exactly how he feels
D E7 A E
'Cause baby, baby, you are my girl
A E F#m
When a man loves a woman . . .
