Woman
Dick Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Woman, take a look at me
Woman, can't I make you see
That I'm only a mortal man
I do the best I can that I can do
That it's never good enough for you
Is more than I can stand
Life is not an easy game
It's full of work and full of pain
And I've struggled for so long
I need your love and faith in me
But slowly you're destroying me
Oh woman, leave me alone

Leave me alone; let me unwind
What a man needs most is peace of mind
And I'll never find it here
You keep me so mixed up inside
It's not my love; it's only pride
That keeps me hanging near
For the very things you saw in me
That made you fall in love with me
Are the things you now find wrong
I've tried to give you what you crave
But I'm a man; I'm not a slave
Oh woman, leave me alone

In your eyes, I've failed somewhere
And the thing we had is no longer there
Why don't I just move on
Our life is such a sad mistake




And I've taken all that I can take
Oh woman, leave me alone

Overall Meaning

The song Woman Leave Me Alone is the emotional expression of a man who feels overwhelmed and burdened by his relationship with a woman. He pleads with her to understand that he is just a mortal man who does his best but is unable to meet her expectations. Despite his efforts, she constantly criticizes him, and he feels like he is slowly being destroyed. He wants her to leave him alone so he can have some peace of mind and unwind without her constant nagging and mixed up feelings. He believes that their life together is a sad mistake and the love they had is no longer there.


The lyrics reveal the singer's feelings of inadequacy and emotional exhaustion, which can be relatable to anyone who's ever felt overwhelmed and burdened by a relationship. The song expresses the sadness and despair of a man who is trying his best but cannot seem to satisfy his partner. It is an emotional appeal for peace and understanding, an acknowledgment that relationships are not easy, and they require time, effort, and patience from both partners to work.


Overall, the song's message is that we all have limits, and we can only do so much before we break down emotionally. Sometimes, it is essential to take a step back and have some time alone to unwind and replenish ourselves. It is better to acknowledge that we need some space rather than continue to suffer in silence until we snap.
