Percy Sledge - When A Man Loves A Woman Lyrics

Artist: Percy Sledge

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: R&B

Heyo! SONGLYRICS just got interactive. Highlight. Review: RIFF-it. RIFF-it good. Listen while you read!

When a man loves a woman Can't keep his mind on nothing else He'll change the world For the good thing he's found If she's bad he can't see it He can do her no wrong 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 Well, this man loves a woman I gave you everything I had Trying to hold on to your high-class love 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't ever see When a man loves a woman He can do no wrong He can never want some other girl Yes when a man loves a woman I know exactly how he feels 'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're my world When a man loves a woman.....

He'd give up all his comfort Sleep out in the rain If she said that's the way it ought to be

Sledge’s ballad is a classic in the strictest sense of the word – his soulful wail, the climactic trumpets, and the slow-dance tempo remind us all how blind and vulnerable a man who “loves a woman” can get. There is no knocking this song, and there is no topping the original version.
