When a Woman
Tamia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She was beautiful inside and out
How could he just let her go
He had girls on the side and he tried to hide
But somehow she knew
Still she stayed
She stayed
But then he noticed a change
She no longer had tears on her face
When a woman stops cryin'
You best believe
She has a new plan
She preparing for somethin' new something that doesn't include you
When a woman cease to cry
She's already to say goodbye
Goodbye
When you stay out late
She don't call to ask where you are
(Where you at?)
She just gives you this look when you come home that says
You better watch your back
Fellas listen to your girl when she tells you
That she's all cried out
You'd better pray
That she's stay
If she no longer Cris every night
If she doesn't complain any more
She's making her way to that front door
When a woman stops cryin'
You best believe
She has a new plan
She preparing for somethin new something that doesn't include you
When a woman cease to cry
She's already to say
Just as long as she is arguin'
Fussin & complainin
As long as she will cry sometimes
Everything is all right
Oh but as soon as she is quiet
When you mess up she's silent
And has this certain smile upon her face
When a woman stops cryin
You best believe
She has a new plan
She preparing for somethin new something that doesn't include you
When a woman cease to cry
When a woman stops cryin'
When a woman stops cryin'
When a woman stops cryin over you
