Have you ever loved a woman
So much you tremble in pain?
Have you ever loved a woman
So much you tremble in pain?
And all the time you know
She bears another man's name.

But you just love that woman
So much it's a shame and a sin.
You just love that woman
So much it's a shame and a sin.
But all the time you know
She belongs to your very best friend.

Have you ever loved a woman
And you know you can't leave her alone?
Have you ever loved a woman
And you know you can't leave her alone?
Something deep inside of you
Won't let you wreck your best friend's home.

"Have You Ever Loved A Woman" is a blues song written by Billy Myles and first recorded by American blues artist Freddie King in 1961. The song is performed as a slow blues with King's vocal and guitar accompanied by a small combo of pianist Sonny Thompson, bassist Bill Willis, and drummer Phillip Paul. When it was released by Federal Records in 1961, only the B-side to King's single, "You've Got to Love Her with a Feeling" reached the Billboard Hot 100 pop chart. The song was included on King's first album, Freddy King Sings, also issued by Federal in 1961.

Several versions of "Have You Ever Loved a Woman" were subsequently recorded by English guitarist-singer Eric Clapton. The first was a live rendition in November 1965 when he was a member of John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers. Clapton then recorded a studio version with his band Derek and the Dominos for their 1970 album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. Later live recordings of the song appear on E. C. Was Here, Just One Night (as a medley with Ramblin' on My Mind), 24 Nights, Live In Hyde Park, One More Car, One More Rider and Crossroads Guitar Festival 2004.
