Lyrics
Did you ever love a woman
Expressing the experience of loving a woman
And you loved her with all your might
Describing intense and devoted love for her
Did you ever love a woman
Repetition of the theme of loving a woman
And you loved her with all your might
Emphasizing the depth of the love given
Well, and you knew all the time
Awareness that the woman is mistreating despite love
That the woman wasn't treating you right
Recognition of the woman's improper treatment
You fix her breakfast in the morning
Depiction of domestic efforts to care for the woman
Stay at home everyday
Choosing to stay at home to support and care
Even wash the dishes
Performing household chores to contribute to the relationship
If she has to go away
Willingness to support her even if she has to leave
You send the children to school
Ensuring the well-being and education of the children
Even mend their hose
Taking care of practical matters like mending clothes
Stay up all nights with the babies
Staying up at night to care for the babies
Even wash their dirty clothes
Handling the responsibility of washing dirty clothes
Did you ever love a woman
Reiteration of the experience of loving a woman
And you loved her with all your might
Reaffirming the intensity of the love expressed
Yes, and you knew all the time
Understanding that the woman is treating unfairly
That the woman wasn't treating you right
Highlighting the knowledge of mistreatment despite love
But when it's time to go to bed
Describing an intimate moment at bedtime
The woman grabs you in her arms
The woman physically embraces the man
She holds you real tight
Expressing a close and affectionate hold
She hugs you with all her charms
The woman uses her charms to show affection
She calls you a lot of sweet names
Endearing names are affectionately used by the woman
Then she turns out the light
The woman initiates intimacy by turning off the light
She sets your soul on fire
Intimacy creates a passionate and soulful connection
And you say, "Baby, everything is all right"
Despite mistreatment, reassurance that everything is okay
Did you ever love a woman
Recurrence of the theme of loving a woman
And you loved her with all your might
Reiteration of intense and committed love
Yes, and you knew all the time
Awareness of the mistreatment, yet still loving deeply
That the woman wasn't treating you right
Knowledge of unfair treatment despite the depth of love
