C        Dm   Dm2               F               C
When a woman loves a man it’s stronger than the sun
C           Dm   Dm2               F              C
So unfolds the hidden plan that won’t stop once begun
G                F
Her light comes shining
G          Am       Em          F
Inside him little tender blooms expand
                      C        Dm   Dm2
When a woman loves a man
F                      C
Ever since the world began

C           Dm   Dm2        F                 C
When a woman gives herself she goes out on a limb
C           Dm   Dm2           F              C
Her body cannot help but tell the story that’s within
G               F
She pours her trust in him
G            Am      Em            F
And all she asks is that he understands
                           C        Dm   Dm2
The gift he holds in his hands
F                     C
When a woman loves a man

Gm                   C
Water carving out a canyon
Gm                     C
Sure gets deeper over time
Gm                       F        C
A woman’s love seeks its companion
Dm                      Em
As freshwater seeks the brine

Dm Em
Oooh
Dm/Dm2\Dm
Oooh

G              Am                Em                         F
Her sweet home – the whole damn country in the palm of his hand!
                          C        Dm   Dm2
Springtime all across the land

When a woman loves a man
