When A Man Loves A Woman Lyrics
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else,
He'd change 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 put her down.
He'll spend his very last dime
Tryin' to hold on to what he needs.
He'd give up all his comforts and sleep out in the rain,
If she said that's the way it ought to be.
I gave you everthing I have,
Tryin' to hold on to your hot blood long.
Baby, please don't treat me bad.
Down deep in his soul,
She can bring him such misery.
If she is playin' him for a fool,
He's the last one to know.
Lovin' eyes can never see.
he can do no wrong,
he can never hug some other girl.
I know exactly how he feels,
'Cause baby, baby, you're my pearl.
When a man loves a woman....
It was said that Percy Sledge had to sing one night at a club for some of the customers there. At that moment, his girlfriend had just broken up with him before going on stage to perform. It was there and then that Percy didn't feel like performing anymore. But he was encourage to go on. So he went on stage and made up the song "When a man loves a woman" right on the spot, because he was so heartbroken. The song soon became a hit for Percy. This song is brillian and truly a love song /ballad. Wonderfully sung.
Beautiful song. One of the all-time greats.
Hell yes.
one of the best ever love songs. the chrous cant fail to hit you.
beatiful portrayal of the situation when a man is truly in love with a woman, total devotion brings so much pain and makes you alter your life to accomodate her, even if it means dropping good friends, I am in this current state, and she is bringing me misery, and I am turning my back on my best friends, DAMN GOOD SONG
This song doesn't have a chorus...
Basically, explaining relationships. When we guys really love a chick, we'll do whatever for her. She can play us and we wont realize it or believe it. We cant do anything wrong "Or else"
damn women....
Maybe it's a point of view thing but I don't think this is a positive love song. Everything he sings about can certainly be bad.
Funny to say, I think this is one a rare case in which the chorus is actually the verse and opposite. Would that have sense?
It's the truth.
