Lyrics When a Woman Loves a Man - Abbey Lincoln

When a Woman Loves a Man

Maybe he’s not much, just another man
Doing what he can
But what does she care
When a woman loves a man
She’ll just string along
All through thick and thin
Till his ship comes in It’s always that way
When a woman love a man
She’ll be the first one to praise him
When he’s goin' strong
The last one to blame him
When everything’s wrong
It’s such a one-sided game that they play
But women are funny that way
Tell her she’s a fool
She’ll say yes, I know
But I love him so And that’s how it goes
When a woman loves a man
Tell her she’s a fool
She’ll say yes, I know
But I love him so And that’s how if goes
