When a Man Loves a Woman, Percy Sledge

by Rhonda Brown
(Brisbane)

Our special song is When a Man Loves a Woman. I find it impossible to listen to this song without feeling all the emotions that accompanied falling in love for the first time. If I'm in the mood for passion, this is the song I play!

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

It ought to be



When a man loves a woman

I give you everything I've 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 now exactly how he feels

'Cause baby, baby, baby

I am a man

When a man loves a woman
