Lyrics
Maybe he's not much
Perhaps he lacks extraordinary qualities
Just another man
Just an ordinary man
Doing what he can
Doing his best within his capabilities
But what does she care
But the woman is indifferent to such details
When a woman loves a man
When a woman is in love with a man
She'll just string along
She remains committed through good and bad times
All through thick and thin
Until his fortunes improve
Till his ship comes in
Consistently supporting him
It's always that way
This is the typical pattern
When a woman loves a man
When a woman deeply loves a man
She'll be the first one to praise him when he's goin' strong
She praises him during success
The last one to blame him when every thing's wrong
Yet refrains from blaming him during failures
It's such a one-sided game that they play
Describing the relationship as one-sided
Ah, but women are funny that way
Women exhibit peculiar behavior in love
Tell her, she's a fool
Advising her that she's being foolish
She'll say, "Yes, I know
She acknowledges it but remains devoted
But I love him so"
Expressing love despite awareness of folly
And that's how it goes
Summarizing the persistence of love
When a woman loves a man
In the scenario of a woman's love for a man
Tell her, she's a fool
Repeating the advice of being a fool
She'll say, "Yes, I know
Reiterating her acknowledgment of foolishness
But I love him so"
Reaffirming love despite perceived foolishness
And that's how it goes
Reiterating the cyclic nature of love
When a woman loves a man
In the context of a woman deeply loving a man
