Lyrics

"When he held me in his arms
When he held me in his arms and said
"Baby, baby, baby, you are the only one for me."

When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothing else
He'll trade the world
For the good thing he found
Yeah, if she's bad, he can't see it
She can do 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'll give up all his comforts
Go out and sleep out in the rain
If she says, "baby, that is how it's gonna be."

When a man loves a woman
Gives her everything that he has
Tryin' to hold on to her precious love
Cryin, "baby, baby please don't treat me bad."

When a man loves a woman
Down deep in his soul
She can bring him such misery
Yeah, she's bad, but, oooh
He's the last one to know
Lovin' eyes don't ever see

So, this man says he loves me, he loves me
He gives me everything, everything
Everything that he has
Tryin' to hold on to my precious love
Cryin', "baby, baby, baby, don't you, don't you
Treat me, treat me bad."
Ohhhh . . . yeah

When a man loves a woman
He can do her no wrong
He could never hold another girl
Oh, you tell me you love me, baby
And gonna hold me tight
Baby, baby, this is a man's world
No, no
Oh, baby, a change is gonna come down
In this man's world
