Woman in Love
Gibb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just about midnight on the way
to the bright side when she calls
She turned out the light
I'm just a beginner when it comes
from a number on the wall
need someone to love
And you know, you know I found mine
I've been waiting for the one
After her you will see me gone
I got a question answered anyway
She turned out to be a lesson in love
A lesson in love
Bad girls cross the line
Get it for nothing anytime
I am a victim of the blues
She don't know the truth
Nobody told her how to cry
She got a back against the wall
All God's children need someone to love
And you know, baby, you know I found mine
She can show me I'm the one
After me she'll be on the run
And lightning strikes in my bedroom
The satisfaction was to me a lesson in love
If you give your love for the first time
A lesson in love
you could learn from me
It's gonna be
A lesson
All God's children need someone to love
And you know, baby, you know I found mine
She can show me I'm the one
After me she'll be on the run
And lightning strikes in my bedroom
The satisfaction was to me a lesson in love
If you give your love for the first time
A lesson in love
you could learn from me
It's gonna be
A lesson in love
There are ways and means for your pleasure
A lesson in love
Now just you wait and see
It's gonna be
A lesson in love
If you give your love for the first time
A lesson in love
you could learn from me
A lesson in love
There are ways and means for your pleasure
The lyrics to Gibbs’ song Woman In Love speak about a man who is recalling his experience of falling in love with a woman who seems to be a lesson in love for him. The song begins with the man being on the dark side of the street near midnight, but he is heading towards the bright side when the woman calls him. However, she then turns the light out, implying she doesn't want anyone to see them together. He admits to being a beginner when it comes to relationships and hooking up with someone from a number on the wall. But all God’s children need someone to love, and he believes he has found his.
The man then talks about the woman's characteristics, calling her a bad girl who crosses the line and gets it for nothing any time. He feels like he is at the mercy of the blues, which implies he is feeling down and emotional. He is aware that the woman has a back against the wall and that nobody taught her how to cry. Nevertheless, he still believes that she is what he needs, and that he is her choice as well. There are ways and means for your pleasure, he sings, as if to say that he knows what he is talking about, and he is ready to teach the next person a lesson in love.
