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

[Chorus]
F C C7 Well this man loves you, woman
F C C7 I'll give you everything I can
F C G Am Trying to hold on to your high class love
D7 G G7 Baby, please don't treat me bad [Verse]
C G Am G When a man loves a woman, deep down in his soul,
F G7 C G She can bring him such misery
C G Am G If she plays him for a fool, he's the last one to know
F G7 C G Loving eyes can never see
C G Am G When a man loves a woman, he can do her no wrong,
F G7 C G He can never hold another girl
C G Am G Yes, when a man loves a woman, I know exactly how he feels
F G7 C G 'Cause baby, baby, you are my girl [Other]
C G Am When a man loves a woman . . .
