woman's trouble
Craig David feat. Artful Dodger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel fantastic, bombastic,
Ecstactically astounded
How a girl can really lose her brain
I feel surrounded, confounded
Emotionally dumbfounded
To think you've nearly won your game

Oh yeah, you said that I have
Been gone too long
Don't try to tell me
That I was wrong (re-e-mix)
Totally, wrong for me
Got the hurt in my face
Now I know the only thing to do
Is to give myself some space
I bet she never told you everything that drifted through her mind
All the secret thoughts
Well I bet you never caught her sliding with another man
Because I did
No no, I hate to see the way the finger points at me
I'm at fault, I don't think so
After all is said and done girl
You know you've had your fun
Why don't you leave it there

I feel fantastic, bombastic,
Ecstactically astounded
How a girl can really lose her brain
I feel surrounded, confounded
Emotionally dumbfounded
To think you'd nearly won your game

I feel fantastic, bombastic,
Ecstactically astounded
How a girl can really lose her brain
I feel surrounded, confounded
Emotionally dumbfounded
To think you've nearly won your game

Oh yeah
You say you had a girl, with problems
Tell me, did it lead to heartache and confusion? (re-e-mix)
Did you wake up in tears
Not knowing where you are?
Did you, get it in the ear, like I did?
Like I did
I bet she never told you everything that drifted through her mind
All the secret thoughts
Well I bet you never caught her sliding with another man
Because I did
No no, I hate to see the way the finger points at me
I'm at fault, I don't think so
After all is said and done girl
You know you've had your fun
Why don't you leave it there

I feel fantastic, bombastic,
Ecstactically astounded
How a girl can really lose her brain
I feel surrounded, confounded
Emotionally dumbfounded
To think you'd nearly won your game

I feel fantastic, bombastic,
Ecstactically astounded
How a girl can really lose her brain
I feel surrounded, confounded




Emotionally dumbfounded
To think you've nearly won your game

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Craig David & Robbie Craig's song "Woman Trouble" describe the emotional turmoil caused by a woman who has played emotional games with the singer. The lyrics express feelings of confusion, frustration, and betrayal as the singer tries to come to terms with the woman's behavior. The opening lines of the song sets the tone by stating that the singer is "fantastic, bombastic, ecstactically astounded" by the woman's behavior, yet feels "surrounded, confounded, emotionally dumbfounded" by it as well.


The chorus of the song reiterates this theme, with the singer feeling both impressed and bewildered by the woman's actions. The second verse continues to explore the theme of betrayal, with the singer suggesting that the woman has been disloyal to him by "sliding with another man." The final lines of the song urge the woman to "leave it there" and move on, as both the singer and the woman have had their fun.


One interpretation of the lyrics is that they portray the male experience of being manipulated by a woman who enjoys playing games with his emotions. The lyrics suggest that the woman is in control of the situation and that the singer is desperate to make sense of her behavior. Despite feeling hurt and betrayed by the woman's actions, the singer cannot help but feel impressed by her ability to manipulate him.


Line by Line Meaning

I feel fantastic, bombastic, Ecstactically astounded How a girl can really lose her brain
I am amazed at how a girl can be so lost in love that she loses all sense of reason and logic. It seems incredible to me.


I feel surrounded, confounded Emotionally dumbfounded To think you've nearly won your game
I am feeling overwhelmed, confused, and emotionally drained by the fact that you almost succeeded in your plan to take advantage of me.


Oh yeah, you said that I have Been gone too long Don't try to tell me That I was wrong (re-e-mix) Totally, wrong for me
You accuse me of being absent for too long, but I refuse to believe that I am the one responsible for this situation. It was a mistake to trust you, and I am convinced that you are not good for me.


Got the hurt in my face Now I know the only thing to do Is to give myself some space
I am hurt by your actions, and I realize that the best course of action for me is to distance myself from you and the pain you have caused me.


I bet she never told you everything that drifted through her mind All the secret thoughts Well I bet you never caught her sliding with another man Because I did
I am convinced that the girl you are defending has not been entirely honest with you about her intentions and actions. In fact, I have caught her cheating on you with another man.


No no, I hate to see the way the finger points at me I'm at fault, I don't think so After all is said and done girl You know you've had your fun Why don't you leave it there
I refuse to accept the blame for everything that has gone wrong between us. You have played your part in this, and I think it's time to move on and leave it all behind us.


You say you had a girl, with problems Tell me, did it lead to heartache and confusion? (re-e-mix) Did you wake up in tears Not knowing where you are? Did you, get it in the ear, like I did? Like I did
You tell me that you had a similar experience with a girl who had issues. Did it lead to the same level of pain, confusion, and emotional distress that I am feeling now? Did you ever wake up lost and alone, not knowing what to do? Did you suffer the same way I did?
