Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't love me no more
Get out my life woman
You don't love me no more
Get out my life woman
You don't love me no more

Get out my eyes teardrops
I got to see my way around
Get out my eyes teardrops
I got to see my way around
Get out my life, heartaches
Nothin' but heartaches by the pound

Get off my ladder, woman
I got to climb up to the top
Get off my ladder, woman
There is nothin that can make me stop

Get out the way, woman
I got to be movin' on
Get out the way, woman
I got to be movin' on
Get out the way, woman
I got to be movin' on





I'm sorry I've got leave you

Overall Meaning

Purple Heart's song "Woman" is a classic blues song that tells a story of a man who has had enough of his companion. The lyrics are incredibly honest and straightforward - he is exhausted with the woman in his life and wants her to leave. He repeats the phrase, "You don't love me no more," which tells the sorry truth of a man who has lost his love. He tells her to get out of his life, his eyes, and his heart to move on with his life. The repetition of the phrase adds to the intensity of the situation, and his tone is both angry and full of sorrow.


In the chorus, the man tells the woman to "get out the way" because he is moving on. He repeats this phrase three times, which is a message to the woman that he means business. He is on a mission, and she is standing in the way. He also tells the woman to get off his ladder, which could mean that she is holding him back and preventing him from climbing to the top. In the end, he apologizes for leaving her, which is a crucial element of the song. This song speaks to the emotions that many people feel when they are in unfulfilling relationships and need to break free.
