When a Man Loves a Woman
Aaron Neville Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can’t keep his mind on nothin’ else
He’d change the world
For the good thing he’s found
If she is bad, he can’t see it
She can do no wrong
Turnin' his back on his best friend
When a man loves a woman
He spend his very last dime
Tryin' to hold on
To what he needs
He’d give up all of his comforts
And he sleep out in the rain
If she said that’s the way
It ought to be
Well, this man loves you woman
I give you everything I have
Tryin' to hold on to your hot blood love
Baby, please don’t treat me bad
When a man loves a woman
Deep down in his soul
Oh, she can bring him
Such misery
If she is playin' him for a fool
He’s the last one to know
Oh, lovin' eyes, lovin' eyes
Can never see
I love, I love, I love, baby, baby, baby, woman
And I love you, baby, I love you, baby
From the bottom of my heart
Deep down in my soul, can't you see?
The lyrics of Aaron Neville's song 'When a man loves a woman' talks about how a man in love with a woman can go to great lengths for her. The first stanza talks about how a man in love can hardly focus on anything else and how he's willing to change the world for the love of the woman he's found. The second stanza goes on to say how the man is so deep in love that he's blinded by his lover's faults, and he doesn't care who he loses or what he loses, including his best friend, as long as the woman he loves remains with him.
The third stanza continues to explain that when a man loves a woman, he will spend everything he owns to keep her in his life. He's ready to sacrifice his comfort and sleep out in the rain if that's what she wants. He will give everything he has to please her, and all he wants in return is for her to love him back as much as he does her. The final stanza talks about how a man in love can be misled by his lover's actions, and he'll be the last person to realize he's been played. The man is so in love that he can never see when he's being fooled. The song ends with the affirmation of a man's love for his woman, begging her not to treat him badly.

When a man loves a woman
When a man truly loves a woman with all his heart
Can’t keep his mind on nothin’ else
He cannot concentrate on anything else but her
He’d change the world
He is willing to do anything to make her happy
For the good thing he’s found
Because she is the best thing that has ever happened to him
If she is bad, he can’t see it
He is blind to her flaws
She can do no wrong
He loves her unconditionally
Turnin' his back on his best friend
He will ditch his closest friends for her
If he put her down
If anyone treats her badly or speaks ill of her, he won't tolerate it
He spend his very last dime
He will spend all his money on her
Tryin' to hold on
He will go to great lengths to keep her close
To what he needs
To the love and relationship he has with her
He’d give up all of his comforts
He is willing to sacrifice his own comfort for her happiness
And he sleep out in the rain
He will take any hardship as long as she is with him
If she said that’s the way
He will follow her every wish
It ought to be
Because he believes her way is the right way
Well, this man loves you woman

I give you everything I have
He is willing to give her all his love and everything he owns
Tryin' to hold on to your hot blood love
He is trying his best to keep her passionate love for him alive
Baby, please don’t treat me bad
He is asking her to treat him with the love he deserves for loving her so much
Deep down in his soul

Oh, she can bring him
She has the power to make him feel intense happiness or deep sadness
Such misery
Her actions can cause him great pain
If she is playin' him for a fool
If she is deceiving him with her love
He’s the last one to know
Because he trusts her blindly
Oh, lovin' eyes, lovin' eyes
The eyes of someone in love
Can never see
But they can also be blinded by love and miss the truth
I love, I love, I love, baby, baby, baby, woman
The singer is expressing his love over and over again
And I love you, baby, I love you, baby
His message is clear: he loves her more than anything
From the bottom of my heart
He loves her deeply, and it comes from the very depths of his being
Deep down in my soul, can't you see?
His love for her is undeniably profound and real
