Caruso
David Foster & Friends Lyrics

When a man loves a woman
The beginning of a song that talks about a man's love for a woman.

Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
The man is so consumed by his love for the woman that he cannot focus on anything else.

He'd trade the world
The man would willingly give up everything he has for the woman he loves.

For a good thing he's found
The woman is a precious and valuable thing to the man.

If she is bad, he can't see it
The man is blinded by love and cannot see any flaws in the woman's character.

She can do no wrong
In the man's eyes, the woman is perfect and faultless.

Turn his back on his best friend
If the man's friend speaks ill of the woman, the man will defend her even if it means breaking his friendship.

Spend his very last dime
The man is willing to spend all his money to keep the woman happy.

Trying to hold on to what he needs
The man is doing all he can to keep the woman by his side because he needs her in his life.

He'd give up all his comforts
The man is willing to sacrifice his own comfort for the woman he loves.

And sleep out in the rain
The man would even sleep outside in the rain if it meant being with the woman.

If she said that's the way
The woman's word is law for the man, and he will do whatever she wants.

It ought to be
The man believes that the woman's way is the right way.

I give you everything I've got (yeah)
The man is promising to give the woman everything he has, including his love and devotion.

Trying to hold on
The man is desperately trying to hold on to the woman.

To your precious love
The man values the woman's love above all else.

Baby please don't treat me bad
The man is asking the woman to treat him kindly and not hurt him.

Deep down in his soul
The man's love for the woman is rooted deep within his being.

She can bring him such misery
If the woman were to betray the man, it would cause him great pain and suffering.

If she is playing him for a fool
If the woman is deceiving the man, he is the last to know because he trusts her with all his heart.

He's the last one to know
The man is unaware of any deception because of his love and trust for the woman.

Loving eyes can never see
The man's love blinds him to any faults or wrongdoing on the part of the woman.

Yes when a man loves a woman
The chorus repeats, emphasizing the depth of the man's love for the woman.

I now exactly how he feels
The singer, being a man himself, understands the depth of emotion expressed in the song.

'Cause baby, baby, baby
The singer addresses the woman directly, emphasizing the intensity of the man's feelings for her.

I am a man
The singer identifies with the man who is expressing his love for the woman in the song.
