Letra de
When A Man Loves A Woman

A música When a Man Loves a Woman foi gravada por Percy Sledge em 1966. A inspiração veio quando Calvin Lewis e Andrew Wright estavam tocando em um clube em Sheffield, Alabama. Segundo a lenda, Percy Sledge improvisou a letra enquanto estava chateado com sua namorada por ela ter se ausentado para uma carreira de modelo. Ele cantou sobre como você desiste de tudo quando realmente ama uma mulher.

When a man loves a woman, can't keep his mind on nothing else
He'll trade the world for the good thing he's found
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'd give up all his comfort, sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way it ought to be

Well, this man loves a woman
I gave you everything I had
Tryin' to hold on to your heartless love
Baby, please don't treat me bad

When a man loves a woman, down deep in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she plays him for a fool, he's the last one to know
Lovin' eyes can never see

When a man loves a woman, he can do her no wrong
He can never hug, some other girl
Yes, when a man loves a woman, I know exactly how he feels
Coz baby baby baby you're my world
When a man loves a woman, I know exactly how he feels
