WOMEN
Jay Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Woke up feeling dirty
This party been going quiet a while
Last call next Friday, never ending
Yeah, that's my style
Don't know, I don't remember
But I guess she didn't like my answer
All these women make my heart break
All this wine make my head ache
Combine the two and it's more than I can take
Yeah,, it's more than I can take
So I'm gone...
One kiss and I surrender, like a pretender
I'll never see her again
But I follow her through that door
Like so many times before
All these women make my heart break,
All this wine make my head ache
Combine the two, combine the two,
And it's more than I can take, yeah,
It's more than I can take, so I'm gone
The song "Women" by Jay Smith is a melancholic reflection on the pain and regret that can come with living a hedonistic lifestyle. The first verse sets the scene with the singer waking up after a wild party, feeling "dirty" and hungover. He muses on the endless cycle of partying and regret that has become his life, acknowledging "that's my style." The second verse is more specific, recounting a recent encounter with a woman who didn't like his answer (presumably about his intentions or feelings towards her), leading to a final farewell.
The chorus repeats the theme of heartbreak and regret, with the singer blaming both women and alcohol for his emotional pain. He acknowledges that the two together are "more than I can take," leading to him leaving the party and presumably leaving this lifestyle behind. The final lines of the song seem to express a sense of resignation, as the singer admits to having followed a similar cycle many times before.
