Lyrics: Lewis, Wright
Music: Lewis, Wright
This was soundchecked by the Grateful Dead on 26 March 1995 but never played at a show.
Not to be confused with the Robert Hunter song with the same title.
Only a fragment was soundchecked (by Vince Welnick?):
[cuts in]The full lyrics are:
Everything is nothing else
[?]
Sleep out in the rain
If that's the way it's supposed to be
When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothing else
[?], baby, please don't leave me [?]
When a man ... [breaks down coughing]
[Garcia: "When a man cacks up a fur-ball"]
When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothing else
He'd trade the world for the 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 put her down
When a man loves a woman
He'll spend his very last dime
Tryin' 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
Well, this man loves you, woman
I gave you everything I have
Tryin' to hold on to your precious 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 is playin' 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
'Cause baby, baby, I'm a man
When a man loves a woman....
