When A Woman Loves A Man

by Ella Fitzgerald

on Pure Ella (1998), Ella Fitzgerald Sings The Johnny Mercer Songbook (1964)

Maybe he's not much, just another man
Doing what he can
But what does she care
When a woman loves a man
She'll just string along
All through thick and thin
Till his ship comes in
It's always that way
When a woman love a man
She'll be the first one to praise him
When he's goin' strong
The last one to blame him
When everything's wrong
It's such a one-sided game that they play
But women are funny that way
Tell her she's a fool
She'll say yes, I know
But I love him so
And that's how it goes
When a woman loves a man
Tell her she's a fool
She'll say yes, I know
But I love him so
And that's how if goes
