Lyrics Gettin' Havin' & Holdin' - Scritti Politti

When a man loves a woman
He is happy, maybe
When a man loves a woman
He is never alone, he's never alone
Baby, well you know that he's (ooh)
Bound to be heartbroken (heartbroken)
He's just bound to feel so ill at ease
Bound to nothing
Bound to lose, to lose yeah

When a man (when a man) loves a woman
He is broken, I think you know he is
When a man loves a woman
He is always alone, he's always alone
Baby, well you know that he's (ooh)
Bound to be so happy (so happy)
He's just bound to feel so ill at ease
That only he will never realise he's in love
In love, yeah
S'time I just get so sad
Take that, baby, y'know I get so sad
It's just

A man loves a woman (loves a woman)
He is jealous (jealous, jealous, jealous)
Baby, when a man loves a woman
It's the language of getting, having and holding
Baby, well you know that it's
Just like a great nation (great nation)
It's so bound to type up on the...
Typed-up on the wall
It's tired of joking - wet, wet with tears
So sad, yeah

When a man (when a man) loves a woman (loves a woman)
He is happy, maybe
Gets his orders from chaos
Some say nothing will change oh nothing will change
Baby, well you know that it's (ooh)
True like the Tractatus (Tractatus)
Oh, knows it's harder than the rest
So exciting, so divine
Divine, yeah

Ooh, his love is a heart breaking out
Ooh, his love is a heart breaking out
Ooh, his love is a heart breaking out
Oh, oh, you know that his love is a heart breaking out

When a man (when a man) loves a woman (loves a woman)
He is happy
When a man (man) loves a woman
He is always alone, he's always alone
Baby, well you know that he's
Bound to be heartbroken (heartbroken)
Bound to feel so ill at ease
He hardly stands, she doesn't understand
He's in love
In love, yeah
