Yesterday, someone said and did something that got me thinking about how powerful a man's love can be.
I started playing 'When A Man Loves A Woman' over and over again. Smiling!
But then, reality hit me hard an hour later, when I saw a video of Mark Anthony and his ex-wife, former Miss World, Dayanara Tores, re-marrying. Y'all know they separated for a while and when they got back together, they re-newed their vows?
At their second wedding, Mark shed huge tears as his wife walked down the aisle to meet him. He was crying like a sweet crazily in love man who couldn't believe how lucky he was to be marrying his dream woman. As she got to him, Mark mouthed "You're so beautiful, I Love You So Much".
Who has seen that video?
After the wedding, he said the day was even more beautiful for him than their first wedding because Dayanara was giving him another chance at happiness. (She had walked out of the marriage for reasons best known to them).
But the thing is; less than TWO years after that spectacular wedding, Mark went to Puerto Rico to get a VERY quick divorce from Dayanara, so he could marry J LO.
What does that say about men's attention/love span?
I listened to this song over and over and over again. And I've been trying to analyse the lyrics. Some of us have loved and been loved but how realistic are this words?
Let's break it down together
When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else (I agree...to an extent...but that won't stop him from...?)
He'd trade the world
For a good thing he's found (Hmmm...?)
If she is bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong (Really?)
Turn his back on his best friend
If he puts her down (It's possible...)
When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime (He will spend his dime...but 'his very last dime'? lol)
Trying to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comforts
And sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way It ought to be (I only see a man sleeping out in the rain for me...in my dreams)
When a man loves a woman
I give you everything i got (yeah)
Trying to hold on
To your precious love
Baby please don't treat me bad (I won't baby...but maybe you will)
When a man loves a woman
Deep down in his soul
She can bring him such misery (that's true...but his...will still be working! lol)
If she is playing him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Loving eyes can never see (hmmmm....ok!)
Yes when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
'cause baby, baby, baby I am a man
When a man loves a woman
Let me ask this question: Who is more foolish when in love? Men or women?
