當 ♂ 愛上 ♀

Just came across this All Time title, When a man loves a woman, originally by Percy Sledge in the 60s. When Michael Bolton did his version in 1991, it made to me in my nothing-happened college life. Many year since then, I've almost forgot what it sings but not its cuddling melody. It's one of the many things I've adored. Unlike years ago, the greasy lines sounds anew.

 

英文原詞：

 

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 know exactly how he feels  
'Cause baby, baby, baby  
I am a man     
When a man loves a woman
