You Ain't Woman Enough To Take My Man
Sissy Spacek Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You say I ought to know
That he don't love me anymore
And I'll have to let him go.
You say you're gonna take him,
Ah but I don't think you can,
Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man.
Women like you are a dime a dozen,
For you to get to him,
I'll have to move over,
And I'm gonna stay right here.
It'll be over my dead body,
So git out while ya can,
Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man.
Sometimes a man's caught lookin'
At things that he don't need.
He took a second look at you
But he's in love with me.
Well I don't know where that leaves you,
Ah but I know where I stand,
Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man.
Women like you are a dime a dozen,
You can find 'em anywhere,
For you to get to him,
I'll have to move over,
And I'm gonna stay right here.
It'll be over my dead body,
So git out while ya can,
Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man.
Yea, you ain't woman enough to take my man.
The lyrics of the song "You Ain't Woman Enough To Take My Man" by Sissy Spacek convey a sense of fierce protectiveness that a woman has towards her man. The singer of the song is being warned by another woman that her man no longer loves her and that she should let him go. However, the singer refuses to believe this and declares that the other woman isn't "woman enough" to take her man away from her. The singer confidently states that she will not move aside for this other woman and that she will fight for her man until the bitter end.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea of jealousy and possessiveness in relationships. The singer acknowledges that her man might have looked at the other woman, but makes it clear that he is in love with her and that the other woman doesn't stand a chance. The final lines of the song, "Yea, you ain't woman enough to take my man," reaffirm the singer's confidence in herself and her relationship.
Overall, the lyrics of the song are a powerful statement on the strength of a woman's love and her willingness to fight for what she believes is rightfully hers.

You've come to tell me somethin'
You've come to give me a warning
You say I ought to know
You say there's something I need to understand
That he don't love me anymore
That he's lost interest in me and our relationship is falling apart
And I'll have to let him go.
And I'll have to accept that and move on without him
You say you're gonna take him,
You say you're going to pursue a relationship with him
Ah but I don't think you can,
But I don't believe you have the ability
Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man.
Because you don't have what it takes to win his heart
Women like you are a dime a dozen,
Women like you are common and easy to find
You can find 'em anywhere,
They are everywhere
For you to get to him,
For you to have a chance with him
I'll have to move over,
I'll have to step aside
And I'm gonna stay right here.
But I'm not going anywhere
It'll be over my dead body,
I'll fight to keep him and I won't give up easily
So git out while ya can,
So leave before things get worse
Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man.
Because you don't have the strength or power to win him over
Sometimes a man's caught lookin'
Sometimes a man is tempted
At things that he don't need.
By things that he doesn't really want or that aren't good for him
He took a second look at you
He was attracted to you for a moment
But he's in love with me.
However, he truly loves me and is committed to our relationship
Well I don't know where that leaves you,
I'm not sure what that means for you
Ah but I know where I stand,
But I know where I stand with him
Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man.
Because you don't have what it takes to come between us
Yea, you ain't woman enough to take my man.
Yes, you don't have the skills or power to win him over
