Woman in Love
Acoustic Sound Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said "Don't think about it, you can go crazy
Anything can happen, anything can end
Don't try to fight it, don't try to save me"
[Chorus]
She's a woman in love
And he's gonna break her heart to pieces
She's a woman in love, but it's not me
Well alright, do what you want
Don't try to talk, don't say nothin'
She used to be the kind of woman
You have and you hold, she could understand the problem
She let the little things go
[Chorus]
Time after time, night after night
She would look up at me
And say she was lonely
I don't understand the world today
I don't understand what she needed
I gave her everything she threw it all away
On nothin'
She's a woman in love
The lyrics to the song "Woman in Love" by the Acoustic Sound Orchestra are a poignant expression of unrequited love. The singer of the song has been rejected by the woman he loves, who is now pursuing another man. The woman "laughed in my face" and told him goodbye, warning him not to hold onto false hope or try to save her from her own feelings. Despite this, the singer cannot help but feel heartbroken by her actions.
The chorus of the song reinforces the singer's sense of loss. He watches helplessly as the woman he loves falls for someone else, knowing that it will end in heartbreak. He tries to convince himself that he is fine with it, telling her "do what you want," but deep down he knows that he still loves her. He remembers how she used to be "the kind of woman you have and you hold," but now she is unreachable to him.
The final verses of the song are particularly poignant as the singer reflects on how he gave the woman everything she wanted, only to have her throw it all away for "nothing." He cannot understand what she needed, but he knows that he was unable to provide it. Despite this, he cannot help but feel the pain of watching her pursue another man. The last line of the chorus, "She's a woman in love," is a devastating reminder that he cannot be the one to fulfill her desires.
