Your Woman
Tyler James Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been waiting for so long to hear the truth
It comes as no surprise at all you see
So cut the crap and tell me that we're through
Now I know your heart, I know your mind
You don't even know you're bein' unkind
So much for all your highbrow Marxist ways
Why do you play me this way
Well I guess what you say is true
I could never be the right kind of girl for you
CHORUS:
I could never be your woman
I could never be your woman
I could never be your woman
I could never be your woman
When I saw my best friend yesterday
She said she never liked you from the start
Well me, I wish that I could claim the same
But you always knew you held my heart
And you're such a charming, handsome man
Now I think I finally understand
Is it in your genes? I don't know
But I'll soon find out, that's for sure
Why did you play me this way
Well I guess what you say is true
I could never be the right kind of girl for you
(CHORUS)
Well I guess what they say is true
I could never spend my life with a man like you

The lyrics express her exhaustion with his behavior, and she wants him to be direct and honest with her. She has been waiting for a long time to hear the truth about how he feels, and it finally comes as no surprise to her that he wants to end their relationship. She feels hurt and betrayed that he has used her and then walked away.
The singer is aware that her partner doesn't care about her feelings, and she has come to understand that he never truly loved her. She realizes that he doesn't care about her as a person but only as a means of satisfying his desire. The song portrays the emotional turmoil of a woman struggling to come to terms with the fact that the man she loves does not feel the same way about her. She ends the relationship because she knows that she could never be the right kind of girl for him.
Overall, the song is about heartache, betrayal, and a painful breakup. The message it sends out is that relationships can be deeply complex, and love can be challenging. In the end, it's all about finding the courage to move on when the time comes.

Just tell me what you've got to say to me
Please share your feelings and thoughts with me
I've been waiting for so long to hear the truth
I have been eager to know the reality for a while
It comes as no surprise at all you see
I expected it to happen, so it's not unexpected for me
So cut the crap and tell me that we're through
Please stop being insincere and tell me that our relationship is over
Now I know your heart, I know your mind
I am aware of your emotions and your thinking
You don't even know you're bein' unkind
You are not aware of how harsh you are to me
So much for all your highbrow Marxist ways
All your elevated Marxist principles have been for nothing
Just use me up and then you walk away
You take advantage of me, and when you are done, you leave me behind
Why do you play me this way
Why are you treating me in this manner?
Well I guess what you say is true
I think what you say is accurate
I could never be the right kind of girl for you
I cannot satisfy your criteria for the ideal woman
I could never be your woman
I am not the woman you want me to be
When I saw my best friend yesterday
I met my best friend yesterday
She said she never liked you from the start
My best friend mentioned that she didn't like you right from the beginning
Well me, I wish that I could claim the same
I wish I could also say that I don't like you
But you always knew you held my heart
You already knew that I loved you deeply
And you're such a charming, handsome man
You are an attractive and pleasing man
Now I think I finally understand
I now grasp the reality of the situation
Is it in your genes? I don't know
Is it a trait in your DNA? It's unclear
But I'll soon find out, that's for sure
I will discover the answer shortly
Well I guess what they say is true
I believe what people say is correct
I could never spend my life with a man like you
I cannot imagine spending the rest of my life with someone like you
I could never be your woman
I am not the woman you want me to be

This version is much better than the usual

this sounds like the kind of karaoke that gets a wanna be hurt by the crowd throwing bottles at them.

You guys have never heard Princess Chelsea's absolute train wreck of a "cover" and it shows.
Yes, this cover is inferior to the original but it at least adds something to the song while still keeping the core basics. Oh, and it sounds like absolute gold compared to Chelsea's nails on a chalkboard version.

I don't think Jyoti likes this TBH, and I don't think he's appreciating the meaning of the track either.

But why?

Tyler James has a good singing voice, but this cover of "Your Woman" does not do it justice... And inversely, his singing voice does no justice to the song, either.

Joseph Collins I fully disagree. His cover is vastly superior to the original because of his vocals. He emotes far better than the White Town singer.
