She plays her cards close to the vest
To hide the heart she wears on her sleeve
Sometimes she's caught between the woman that she is
And the one she's expected to be
With an innocent smile and the sole of a child
She's always giving more than she can
When a woman loves a man
When a woman loves a man
She knows how to hang on your every word
And she knows how to look the other way
She'll whisper to you what no man has a-heard
Secrets she would never give away
With her arms open wide she'll take you inside
And hold you in the palm of her hand
When a woman loves a man
When a woman loves a man
She will be there to the end
When a woman loves a man
And when all you've got to give her
Is nothing more than a dream
She'll sacrifice for love to prove to you her mind's made
up
Stand by you through everything
When a woman loves a man
When a woman loves a man
