When a man loves a woman
He can't keep his mind on nothin' else
And he'd trade the world
For the good thing he's found
If she is bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he puts her down
When a man loves a woman
He spend his very last dime
Just tryin' to hold on, hold on to what he needs
He'd given up all, all his comfort
And sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way
Babe, that's the way it ought to be
When this man loves
When this man really loves a woman
I give you everything, I mean, everything
Babe, everything I've got
Just tryin' to hold on to your precious love
Babe, babe please
Please don't treat me bad
This is a man's world
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't mean nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl
You see
Man made the cars
To take us over the road
Man made the trains
To carry the heavy loads
Man made electric light
To take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water
Like noah made the ark
This is a man's world
A man's world
But it wouldn't mean nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl
When a man loves a woman
Man makes them happy
'Cause another man makes them toys
When a man loves a woman
You know that man makes his bread
To buy from another man
The world woudn't mean nothing without a woman (without a woman)
Woman or a girl
When a man loves (oh, yeah)
This is a man's world
Oh, it's a man's world (ooh)
But it wouldn't mean nothing
Not one little thing
Without a woman or a girl (when a man loves a woman)
You know my need (a need, yeah)
But it wouldn't mean nothing
Not one little thing
When a man loves a woman
This is a man's world
