Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Love, to a man, is just a thing apart
To take or leave according to his whim
Love, to a woman means her very heart
She only wants to live her life for him
Chorus:
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 going 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
