When A Man Loves A Woman
Teddy Pendergrass & Friends Lyrics

When a man loves a woman
Love is a powerful and all-consuming emotion that takes over a man's life when he falls for a woman.

Can't keep his mind on nothing else
His love for her occupies his mind and thoughts, making it difficult for him to focus on anything else.

He'll trade the world For the good thing he's found
He's willing to sacrifice anything, even the world, to keep the love he has found with her.

If she's bad he can't see it She can do no wrong Turn his back on his best friend If he put her down
His love for her blinds him to her flaws and mistakes, causing him to ignore her bad behavior and choose her over his friends even when she disrespects him.

Spend his very last dime Trying 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
He is willing to sacrifice everything he has, including his money, comfort, and even his own physical wellbeing, to please her and keep her happy.

Well, this man loves a woman I gave you everything I had Trying to hold on to your precious love Baby, please don't treat me bad
He has given her everything he has and is completely devoted to her, begging her not to mistreat him in return.

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 Loving eyes can't ever see
His love for her can also bring him great pain and heartache, especially if she takes advantage of his devotion and love for her. He may not be able to see her deception, even though his love for her is pure and unwavering.

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 'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're my world
In his eyes, she is perfect and he would never want anyone else, as she has become his entire world and he will do anything to keep her in his life.
