Only a Woman
Enrique Iglesias Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Only a woman can take away your cold hard chill
Break your heart and make you love her still
Leave you thirsty when you've had your fill

Only a woman can sit you high up on a throne
Make you feel so damn alone
Leave you begging baby come back home
And it's only till she's gone
Could you see that you were wrong

'Cause the seasons change and people come and go
But when love is fate best hold that woman close
Take the hard road back and fall down at her door
'Cause that's your woman
That's all I know

Only a woman can make you fly so high you wanna touch the sun
When your wings melt and you come undone
Catches you when you fall, she's the only one

She steals your heart just like a thief
Makes you lay roses at your feet
But you know to kiss the rose, the thorns will make you bleed

And it's only till she's gone
Could you see that you were wrong

'Cause the seasons change and people come and go
But when love is fate best hold that woman close
Take the hard road back and fall down at her door
'Cause that's your woman
That's all I know

You thank God you found her
can't live your life without her
And every little thing about her is all you need
All you need

'Cause the seasons change and people come and go
But when love is fate best hold that woman close
Take the hard road back and fall down at her door
'Cause that's your woman




That's all I know, only a woman
Only a woman

Overall Meaning

The song "Only a Woman" by Enrique Iglesias speaks about the unique and powerful impact that women have on men. The opening line "Only a woman can take away your cold hard chill" suggests that a woman has the ability to soften a man's heart and emotions that may have otherwise been cold and unresponsive. The lyrics go on to explain how women have the power to break a man's heart but still make him love her, make him feel alone but also high on a throne, and leave him thirsty for more even when he has had his fill. This suggests that women have the power to evoke incredibly complex and confusing emotions in men.


The chorus provides a message about the fleeting and unpredictable nature of love. The seasons change, people come and go, but when love is real and fate, it is important to hold on tight to the woman who has captured your heart. The line "take the hard road back and fall down at her door" suggests that in order to truly appreciate and value the woman who has impacted your life, it may take some humility and vulnerability to come back to her after making mistakes or facing challenges in the relationship.


Overall, "Only a Woman" is a powerful and heartfelt tribute to the incredible impact that women have on men's hearts and lives.

Tıpkı babası gibi. Babası bizim gençliğimizde, kadife sesli sanatçıydı. Sesi yüreklerimizi adeta okşardı. "Natali" hala kulaklarımda çınlıyor ve hala dinliyorum.

General Rimsy

Perfecto♥️

Thank you for this another audio version. And the Video is lovely. It's so sadly to hear this song while losing my beloved woman. I'd do anything to make her back. Even tough I have to take the hard road back and fall down at her door..
