She laughed in my face, told me good-bye 
Said "Don't think about it, you can go crazy 
Any thing can happen, anything can end 
Don't try to fight it, don't try to save me" 

She's a woman in love 
And he's gonna break her heart to pieces 
She don't want to see 
She's a woman in love, but it's not me 

Well all rig ht, do what you want 
Don't try to talk, don't say nothin' 
She used to be the kind of woman 
You have and you hold, she could understand the problem 
She let the little things go 

She's a woman in love 
And he's gonna break her heart to pieces 
But she don't want to know 
She's a woman in love, she can't let go 

Time after time, night after night 
She would look up at me and say she was lonely 
I don't understand what she needed 
I gave her everything, she threw it all away on nothin' 
She's a woman in love
