verse one:
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.

Spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comforts
Sleep out in the rain
If she said it ought to be...
verse four:
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
Sleep out in the rain
If she said it ought to be
