A Woman Will
Dave Hollister Lyrics

Mmm, mmm, mmm
Introductory sounds of the song

Mmm, mmm
Repeating introductory sounds of the song

Woo, mmm
Additional sounds before the first verse begins

It's funny how a woman does so much
Women do a lot for the men they trust and care about

There's nothin' she won't do when she trusts you
When a woman trusts you, there's no limit to what she'll do to take care of you

She will let you in
Women will share their lives with the men they trust and love

She will lift you up
Women will support and encourage the men they care about

She will take good good care of you
Women will make sure that the men they love are taken care of

Have you on your knees poppin' question
Women will be the ones to decide when a relationship is ready for the next step, like marriage

That's when you become her protection
When a woman is ready for the next step, her partner becomes responsible for protecting her and keeping her safe

But if you lose trust
If you break a woman's trust

Soon she'll be out
She will leave the relationship because she can no longer trust you

That's when it all falls apart
The relationship will fall apart once trust is lost

[Chorus:]
Refrain of the song that repeats multiple times

A woman will carry you
Women will support and lift up the men they love

A woman will marry you
Women will commit to a lifelong partnership with the men they love

And a woman will bury you
Women will bury the men they love when they die

Pushin' daisies up
A metaphorical phrase that means being dead and buried

Once you lose her trust
If you lose a woman's trust

She's gone
She will leave the relationship

Listen to me
The beginning of the second verse, which is a story about a failed relationship

Had a little somethin' cookin' on the side
The artist had an affair outside of his relationship

Before long, it'd start burnin' up my time
The affair took up more and more of the singer's time

Never stopped to think what it would cost me
The artist didn't consider the cost of his actions on his relationship

And I never thought that it'd come back to haunt me
The singer didn't think his actions would have consequences

Heard it said, time and time again
The singer has heard that actions have consequences multiple times before

Never wanted this to come to and end
The singer did not want the relationship to end

But you sow what you reap
You will experience the consequences of your actions

And you reap what you sow
You will experience the consequences of your actions

And I know she won't ever come around me no more
The woman will not come back to the singer after his betrayal

Might as well start diggin' my grave (oh)
The singer feels like he's doomed because of his actions

See if I knew then what I know right now (oh)
The artist regrets his past actions and wishes he knew better

If I knew back then, if I knew about it, mmm (oh)
The artist regrets making mistakes and wishes he knew better earlier on in life

I would have never ever let my baby down (oh)
The artist would not have let his partner down or hurt her like he did

Never let my lady down, lady down, lady down (oh)
The singer regrets letting down his partner, and repeats this statement for emphasis

She deserves so much better than I gave (oh)
The artist recognizes that his partner deserved better treatment than what he gave her

So much better, so much better than I gave (oh)
The singer repeats that his partner deserved better treatment

So now I might as well lay right down
The singer is resigned to his fate

In this bed I made, in this bed I made
The singer is accepting responsibility for his actions

See my baby's gone away (oh)
The artist's partner has left him

Whoa oh oh (oh)
Repeating sounds at the end of the song

Ohh, oh oh (oh)
Repeating sounds at the end of the song

She's gone away (oh oh)
The singer's partner has left him

Whoa oh oh...
Repeating sounds at the end of the song
