[Verse]
        C          C/B    Am
When a man loves a woman
                G                F
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
                 G
He'd trade the world
                        C
For a good thing he's found
C                       C/B    Am
If she is bad, he can't see it
        G           F
She can do no wrong
                      G
Turn his back on his best friend
                C     G
If he puts her down

 [Verse]
         C           C/B   Am

Trying to hold on to what he needs
              C       C/B     Am
He'd give up all his comforts
               G           F
And sleep out in the rain

Baby please don't treat me bad
