[Verse 1]
G7/B C G/B Am Am/G
When a man loves a woman, can't keep his mind on nothing else,
F F/A G7/B G7/D C G
He'd trade the world, for a good thing he's found,
G7/B C G/B Am Am/G
If she is bad, he can't see it, she can do no wrong,
F F/A G7/B G7/D C G
Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down!
[Verse 2]
G7/B C G/B Am Am/G
When a man loves a woman, he'd spend his very last dime,
F F/A G7/B G7/D C G
Trying to hold ...on to what he needs,
G7/B C G/B Am Am/G
He'd give up all of his comforts, and sleep out in the rain,
F F/A G7/B G7/D C C7
If she said that's the way ...it ought to be!
[Bridge]

Well, this man loves you, woman,

When a man loves a woman, down deep in his soul,
F F/A G7/B G7/D C G
She can bring him such ....misery,
G7/B C G/B Am Am/G
If she is playing him for a fool, he's the last one to know,
F F/A G7/B G7/D C G
Loving eyes ...can ...never see!
[Verse 4]
G7/B C G/B Am Am/G
When a man loves a woman, he can do her no wrong,

He can never hold ...some other girl,

Yes, when a man loves a woman, I know exactly how he feels,
F F/A G7/B G7/D C G
'Cause, baby, baby, ...you're my world!
