Woman in Love
THE O.N.G. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well, how come, when you talk to her
She's listening to the music
On the radio tonight?
You can't keep her attention,
'cause she's concentratin'
On a late night movie show, allright.
I know you thought that you had it goin'
When she let you in through her front door.
But now you know, it's getting so late
And she don't want you around here no more.
I could have told you before.
You should have known it right from the start,
That the woman's in love,
The woman's in love with someone.
And you know it's gonna break your heart.
You'd better leave her alone,
The woman's in love with someone else.
But it ain't you.
I know that when she smiled
Across the room at you tonight
You thought you had it made, oh yeah.
But maybe you reminded her
Of someone else
Though you can never take his place, oh no.
'Cause when you're feelin' so lonely,
A little conversation can go a long way.
But that's as far as you're gonna get,
'cause she's not the kind of woman to stray.
I could have told you before.
You should have known it right from the start,
That the woman's in love,
The woman's in love with someone.
And you know it's gonna break your heart.
You'd better leave her alone,
The woman's in love with someone else.
The woman's in love with me.
The woman's in love with me,
Yeah-yeah.
'Cause when you're feelin' so lonely,
A little conversation can go a long way.
But that's as far as you're gonna get,
'cause she's not the kind of woman to stray.
I could have told you before.
You should have known it right from the start,
That the woman's in love,
The woman's in love with someone.
And you know it's gonna break your heart.
You'd better leave her alone,
The woman's in love with someone.
You should have known it right from the start,
That the woman's in love,
The woman's in love with someone.
And you know it's gonna break your heart.
You'd better leave her alone,
The woman's in love with someone else.
The woman's in love with me, yeah.
The O.N.G.'s "Woman In Love" tells the story of a man who has fallen for a woman who is already in love with someone else. The lyrics describe the frustration and disappointment he feels when he realizes that he cannot win her over. The opening lines of the song set the scene and establish the woman's indifference towards the singer. She is preoccupied with listening to music and watching a movie, making it clear that she is not interested in him. The man had initially thought he had a chance with her but now he acknowledges that she is already in a committed relationship and it is time for him to move on.
The chorus of the song emphasizes that the woman is in love with someone else, and the man needs to accept that and walk away from her. He should have known it right from the start, and he knew that he was only setting himself up for heartbreak by pursuing her. However, the singer still believes that the woman is in love with him, which could either be a sign of delusion or a desperate attempt to hold on to his fantasy.
In "Woman In Love," The O.N.G. uses straightforward language and simple, bluesy melodies to convey the frustration and heartbreak of unrequited love. The song's catchy chorus and relatable lyrics make it a classic example of blues-rock storytelling.
