               C                   G/B      Am                                        C7/G
When a man loves a woman,   can't keep his mind on nothing else
F                          G                                                  C      G
  He'll trade the world for the good thing he's found
             C                      G/B    Am                         C7/G
If she's bad he can't see it      she can do no wrong
F                                  G                                         C       G
Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down
 
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 comfort, sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way it ought to be


F               G                    C
Well, this man loves a woman
F                   G                   C
  I gave you everything I had
F                G                C      E7/B         Am
  Tryin' to hold on to your heartless love
D7                                             F/G   G+5
Baby, please don't treat me bad


When a man loves a woman, 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
Lovin' eyes can never see
 
When a man loves a woman, he can do her no wrong
He can never hug, some other girl
Yes, when a man loves a woman,    I know exactly how he feels
Coz baby baby baby you're my world
When a man loves a woman,    I know exactly how he feels
