When a woman loves a man Can't keep her mind on nothing else She'll turn the world for good thing she's found If he's bad, she can see it He can do her no wrong Turn her back on her best friend If she put him down When a woman loves a man Spend her very last dime Tryna hold on to what she needs She'll give up all of her comforts Go in and out in the rain if he says that's the way It ought to be Yes, when a woman loves a man I'll give you everything I have Tryna hold on to your comfort love Baby, please don't treat me bad Yes, when a woman loves a man Deep down in her soul He can bring her such misery If he plays her for a fool She's the last one to know Lovin' eyes can never see Oh, when a woman loves a man She can do him no wrong She can never own some other man Oh, when a woman loves a man
