有些歌曲，或是因為歌名，或是一句歌詞，也或是其中的一段旋律，當聽了幾次之後，就被深深的烙印在腦海中，一輩子都會難以忘記。對我來說，《When a man loves a woman》就是這樣的一首歌。 

這首歌的原唱是Percy Sledge，推出之後，在1966年獲得了Billboard 的榜首。之後，Michael Bolton於1991再重新翻唱，除了得到美國熱門排行冠軍，他也因此曲獲頒葛萊美獎。

 

1994也推出以此曲為主題曲的同名電影，我在電影台有看過，但印象不怎麼深刻，或許是我不喜歡看那種吵吵鬧鬧的問題家庭電影吧。

 

現在再聽，我認為Michael Bolton詮釋此曲要比原唱還來得夠味。聽說今天是白色情人節，祝聽到此曲的有情男女，另一半都會更加的愛你。

When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd trade the world
For a 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 puts her down

When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Trying 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

When a man loves a woman
I give you everything I got (yeah)
Trying to hold on
To your precious love
Baby please don't treat me bad

When a man loves a woman
Deep down in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she is playing him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Loving eyes can never see

Yes when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby, baby

When a man loves a woman
