"Should we just search romantic comedies on Netflix and then see what we find?"

La la la la la la la la (whoa)

I'm selfish, I know
But I don't ever want to see you with him
I'm selfish, I know
I told you, but I know you never listen

I hope you can see the shape that I'm in
While he's touching your skin
He's right where I should, where I should be
But you're making me bleed

Woman

La la la la la la la la
W-Woman

La la la la la la la la
W-Woman
Woman

Tempted, you know
Apologies are never gonna fix this
I'm empty, I know
Promises are broken like the stitches

I hope you can see the shape I've been in
While he's touching your skin
This thing upon me, howls like a beast
You flower, you feast

Woman

La la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la

Woman!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Harry Styles's song "Woman" depict a man who is admitting to his selfishness and jealousy over a woman he loves who is with someone else. The line "Should we just search romantic comedies on Netflix and then see what we find?" portrays his hopefulness for a romantic future with this woman. He then repeatedly declares his selfishness and desire for her, while acknowledging that he is not the one she is with. The lyrics expand on his feelings of emptiness and broken promises, and his struggle to witness her with someone else while he wishes to be the one touching her skin. The chorus focuses on the power and allure of this woman that he loves, with the repetition of the word "Woman" emphasizing her significance in his life.


The lyrics of "Woman" are vague enough to allow for interpretation by listeners, but they certainly portray the agony of being in love with someone who is in a relationship with someone else. The line "Apologies are never gonna fix this" suggests the difficulty in reconciling the pain and heartbreak that this man experiences. Particularly, his emphasis on the woman's skin underscores the depth of his love for her, and the effect that her mere touch and presence have on him.

I'm selfish, I know
But I don't ever want to see you with him
I'm selfish, I know
I told you, but I know you never listen

I hope you can see, the shape that I'm in
While he's touching your skin
He's right where I should, where I should be
But you're making me bleed
