Woman In Love
Dinu Radu 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 of Dinu Radu's song "Woman in Love" tell a story of a woman who has fallen deeply in love with someone who will only break her heart. The singer of the song tries to reason with her and convince her to leave before she gets hurt, but she refuses to listen. She tells him that anything can happen, that anything can end, and that he should not try to save her. She is a woman in love, and she will inevitably be betrayed. The chorus repeats this sentiment, with the singer acknowledging that he is not the one who will break her heart.
The song paints a vivid picture of a relationship in crisis, with the woman in love seemingly powerless to stop the inevitable. The singer's frustration is palpable, as he watches her make what he believes is a huge mistake. He is helpless to do anything to stop her, as she has made up her mind.
The lyrics suggest a sense of inevitability, that the woman in love is fated to suffer heartbreak. The chorus repeats this message, with the singer resigned to the fact that he cannot protect her. In some ways, the song is an exploration of the pain of unrequited love, and the futility of trying to save someone who doesn't want to be saved.
