When A Man Loves A Woman by Michael Bolton
When A Man Loves A Woman
The chord progression is G,Bm,Em,G,C,D,G,D and is repetitive.
G Bm
When a man loves a woman
Em G
Can’t keep his mind on nothin’ else
C D
He’d trade the world
G D
For a good thing he’s found
G Bm
If she is bad, he can’t see it
Em G
She can do no wrong
C D
Turn his back on his best friend
G D
If he puts her down
When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Trying 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
When a man loves a woman
I give you everything I got (yeah)
Trying to hold on
To your precious love
Baby please don’t treat me bad
When a man loves a woman
Deep down in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she is playing him for a fool
He’s the last one to know
Loving eyes can never see
Yes when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
’cause baby, baby, baby
I am a man
When a man loves a woman

When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd trade the world
For a 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
Spend his very last dime
Trying 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

Loving eyes can never see
Yes when a man loves a woman
I now exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby, baby
I am a man
