I suppose you could probably attach the label schizophrenic to me sometimes. I have a long documented hate for the day of February 14th. (see here, here, here).
But then the day comes and I have this place in my heart that softens a little and gets all mushy and stuff. I guess I’m not a true Patriot Against Valentines. My friend Pat is a true hater of Valentines Day. He usually does a missive that I do enjoy.
Maybe I’m a weak little man. Maybe I’m just one big softie. For those lucky enough to have a significant other, have a great day celebrating your love, crush or whatever it is you call it.
And know that one day is not enough for love. There are 364 days left that need fillin’. And now, Percy Sledge will sing us out. See our list of songs we love here.
Percy Sledge, “When a Man Loves a Woman.”
When a man loves a woman
Can’t keep his mind on nothing else
He’ll trade the world
For the good thing he’s found
If she’s bad he can’t see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he put her downWhen a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Tryin’ to hold on to what he needs
He’d give up all his comfort
Sleep out in the rain
If she said that’s the way it ought to beWell, this man loves a woman
I gave you everything I had
Tryin’ to hold on to your precious love
Baby, please don’t treat me badWhen a man loves a woman
Down deep in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she plays him for a fool
He’s the last one to know
Lovin’ eyes can’t ever seeWhen a man loves a woman
He can do no wrong
He can never own some other girl
Yes when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
‘Cause baby, baby, baby, you’re my worldWhen a man loves a woman…..
