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 loves 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 I 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 --- When a Woman Loves a Man - Billie Holiday
