When a (D)man loves a (A)wom an,

If she is (D)bad, he can’t (A)see it.

She can (D)do in no wrong.

Turn his back on his (G)best friend if he (D)puts her down.

When a (D)man loves a (A)wom an,

If she is (Eb)play ing him for a (Bb)fool,

he’s the (Eb)last one to know.

Lov ing (Ab)eyes can nev er (Eb)see.
