Your Woman Lyrics
Artist: White Town
Just tell me what you've got to say to me
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
Just use me up and then you walk away
Boy, you can't play me that 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
(CHORUS)

Hey guys, I don't understand, is he a gay guy, or singing as if he was a woman?
This song is about a crushed gay guy who is finally facing the fact that it won't work out with him and his straight boyfriend. How sad... ;(
he received this as a letter from his ex, turned it into a song. Makes much more sense in that context.
i luv this song hell yea... hey u gotta listen out the muse song (SPACE DEMENTIA) too is real good :) also the rooneys song named Im aterrible person (its the main song in myspace)
fuck this song is awesome...
so fucking gooddddd

can't play it without dancing or doing aerobics. however, have no clue if guy is gay or transexual or just having fun with themselves and us all.
demasiado buenaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
if you want to know what it's about go to www.whitetown.co.uk it's about several different perspectives.
fuck i love this song
suuuuuuuper song. does it really matter if the guy is gay as long as the song is great?
The Muse song Supermassive Black Hole is good too.
you´re all right!!! a great song ;o) and a cool voice...
LOL
This song ŭs a real ONE HŬT WONDER!
Your Woman (1997)
Wanna make u mine! hehe
:) LOve this song
Actually its about a few things, if you want a full explanation its on White Town's website. Its not a single message, unless it were "The hypocrisy that results when love and lust get mixed up with highbrow ideals"(as quoted from the site).
Hope that clears some stuff up for you all.
love it...
i could never be ur woman !!!!!!!!
pim pim primpin!
demmn
that's a great song!
voice
and rythm!
excelente interpretación, una canción para un ego como el mío.
A galera de Juiz de Fora curte esse som pacas!
So was he really gay at the end?
I love this song, I really do.
It's kinda sad when you realized that you can't have anything with the person you love.
That happened to me.
:)
can't stop listening it! :)
i could never be your woman !
i like that
This song is awesome, I love it.
Wow, reading your comments, that pretty much sucks for the guy who got the letter :[
But I love this songg!
def like this song.. my new fav :)
is this a gay song?
I remember this song from when I was in high school. Ah, memories... it's different, but I like it.
The whole song was sang in the lesbian gf viewpoint,
EXCEPT "Well I guess what you say is true,I could never be the right kind of girl for you
I could never be your woman", which is the songwriter's words.
The writer is so smart..
this is the best
well, i guess that`s an incredible song, i really love it!
i`m gonna recordered it with my voice, i really like it.
Great song!!! I love the cool music!!! Its kinda depressing but its still really good!
Still excellent song ! :D
Reminds me of the first time i heard this song, i was six and totally hooked to the tune! I have ben trying to figure out the name of the song for years!
it's awsome that a guy sings it
Excelente canción!!!!!!!!!
the best song i've ever heard
great song to get over a break up. <3
To all of you that think a woman sings it and that it's a gay song--it's a MAN singing. It's called role-reversal.
Serendipity -- That's EXACTLY my situation too! I'm ecstatic that I actually found it!
Great song, I don't see it as a gay or lesbian song, even though it could be, I see it as a straight womans perspective of being messed around by a manwhore! the songs put it into right words about the end of that whole kind of mess.
Actually, I heard a talk show on the radio once about a man reading a break-up letter from his girlfriend. I suppose you can take it however you want, of course - that's the beauty of music - but that's what I was told.
It's always been once of my favorites, all the same.
Seriously sweet song
Ughness sometimes this song is so perfect it makes me sick
the man's not gay... just listen to the song.. he's a former commie who's singing abt communism. In an interview he said that the song was also influenced by the fact that the first girl he ever fell in love with turned out to be lesbian!! The poor guy deserved a hit
it's nice! but isn't it for girls?
Excellent! I love it!
excelent song !
i rushed out and ordered it immediately...well my husband did!!! every time i play it i dance around and clean the house and enjoy doing it!!! lol what a kewl song!!! love it love it love it
his first love turned out to be a lesbian. I can relate..alll badddd aha
Feelings are sexeless. so It doest matter your genre, say what you want to say: express yourself: I am not what You want. #$! You even thou I love you! Don't judge just live your life at it fullest. It's a shame I am not what you want, just let pick my pieces and continue...
This song rocks !
i don't give a shit if this dude is gay. this song is fuckin sweet
not true at all for those that say it's a gay guy!!! its about a guy who falls i love with his female friend but turns out she's a lesbian and so he's just narrating the whole thing!!!
It's a great song, I first heard it like 10 or 12 years ago, and I loved it. I've been trying to find out the name of the song since then and today I finally did it!!! I'm so happy!
Yep I am trying to end a relationship and the sentiments in this song are spot on.
Good Song!! But FAGS GO TO HELL!! fyi
There is no hell, bud. Just a story to try to get unaccountable dipshits to behave. If you're always being watched, you don't get away with shit right? Why not embellish it for a few thousand years and make it a book?
Guy couldn't find a female singer for his song so he sang it himself.
Nothing meaningful or political about it.
I love this song, it describes one of my most hurtful relationships to a t! His voice RAWKS, and this song is NOT about fags!!!
heard it over a decade ago. Had to google part of the lyrics to get it. cant get enough of it. nothing gay about it. looking for the album to dispute the 'one hit wonder' status. i refuse to believe that such genius is only exhibited in one song.
Good song!! So is the singer homosexual or is he playing a real woman's role?
This is not about gay people, not necessarily a gay singer. This is a classic song from the early 1900's that was adapted to a modern 90's tune. Get with it peeps and quit sounding so stupid.
LOL, this is NOT about a gay guy who has a straight boyfriend.
He is singing the song from the girls point of view.
this is great works! heard it the other day on the radio and been trying to figure out the name evr since!
I was in summer camp and my cabin mates and I made up a skit to this song I was 12 I'm 24 now and I still play it on repeat the album is good. We dressed as boys and by then end we looked liked girls don't know what we were thinkin but it was a hit at the talent show!
Very nice song.
On yo girl
omg! I love this song! It is great!
It has nothing to do with lesbians. You are missing the part where the song says "boy you can't play me that way... I could never be your woman." It is from the woman's point of view. Then she says, "Is it in your genes? I don't know but I'll soon find out." I think it means he's been shitty to her so she's leaving him for his brother.
If you like this song, listen to Tommy Trash's remix of it... INCREDIBLE!
- I finally understood sb, who said, that they've looked for this song for years.
And this is the song which turns me on, even when i'm sad. No matter that my boyfriend is in England and he's far away - this song no matter if i'm not in the mood - just can't stop playing and playing again. That's awesome.
Check, their video for this song, it is also perfect
Did anyone catch what the song is saying about her being pregnant?? "is it in your genes? I don't know. But i'll soon find out. that's for sure" she is in love with a jerk that doesn't wanna be with her and she is pregnant with his kid.. so deep
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One of the best songs of all time!!! X3
i love this song
and I think that he is singing from a woman point of view
i love this song
and I think that he is singing from a woman point of view, it must be from a woman point of view just chek the video
I realized, this sums up all my relationships with all my exes. I suck.
It's from a woman's point of view:
Is it in your genes? I don't know
But I'll soon find out, that's for sure
She's gonna have his kid and he left her.
this song is absulutely wonderfll whatever its perspective it gives core idea of the relationships with its cute clip
its a beatifull music
Love it!!
fucking ŭ lŭke ŭstanbull
weirdo gay song!!
ööö toi mies laulaa että se ei voi ikinä olla jonku nainen, en ihmettele :D
Well even if he is gay, everyone has Love issues!
Love Love Love this song! The music is haunting.
omg i love this song! i i heard it in 1997 and i found the name today
trippy tune...love it!
loved this song forever and i don't care either if a guy sings it. i'm a girl and i can still relate this to a guy who I was interested in. you don't have to be a certain gender or orientation to be toyed with and it all feels just as bad.
This has to be one of my favourite songs ever!
este tema es del 97 alsi cuando estab en la media me como a dos minitas escyuchando este tema han pasado como 12 años y las volvi a ver y estan hechas unas vacas jajajajja
Rock and roll!
Great song!! I love it!
I always wondered about the guys singing it. I just read that he is straight and married. Hahaha playing us all! Rock on!!
gay, straight, a letter, a baby, who cares? the song is hot, even moreso because a man sings it. as a woman. droooool.
Solo puedo decir una cosa acerca de esta rola !!!!!!!!!!!Esta chidisssssimaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!
Just heard this song I had almost forgot and it sounded as good as in 1997. First time I heard it when I was in the army and it was big music smash then.
We could just be ...bed friends? tension releasers? swimming pals?
Oh I'm cool, but I need at least to witness your moves!
Since 1900 and before
To me the heat from this song comes from the idea that a man is hearing the woman's perspective, and realizing how badly he fucked up,and that it's too late to repair the damage.Whenever I play the song,I imagine the breakup taking place in a restaurant with the woman teary-eyed but strong and focused,and the man completely blind-sided(for the first time!).See that's the sign of a great song- a million different interpretations are possible.Gay,straight,male,female,doesn't matter-it's what YOU bring that matters.It's right up there with Courage(Tragically Hip),Creep(Radiohead) and other songs that find their greatness in the ambiguity of their lyrics.
Oí esta pieza hace apenas 1 mes, la he buscado "like a freak" y hoy la encontré! Me encanta!!!
Does anyone else notice the sampling of the "Emperor's March" song from the Star Wars series? I heard this immediately!
This song is for you Robert Menchaca.
Damm, I can't stop listening to this shit. Really... I find this song kinda rare because of the gay thingie, but the truth is that I love it anyway. It's my new favourite one.
It made me mad I can't avoid this song extra ordinary fuck
A gay who felt in love with a straight man . But he can't be his woman , because he doesn't wants to turn as transexual .
A truly great song - mysterious, witty, mesmeric. A classic.
" Well I guess what you say is true
I could never be the right kind of girl for you "
HE IS NOT GAY !!! AWSOME SONG !!!! REMINDS ME WHEN I WAS 8 YEARS OLD COULDNT FIGURE OUT ANYTHING AT ALL OF WHAT HE SAYING IN ENLISH LOL THOUGH.
When asked about the lyrics, this truly clever and subtle man said:
"Being a member of an orthodox Trotskyist / Marxist movement. Being a straight guy in love with a lesbian. Being a gay guy in love with a straight man. Being a straight girl in love with a lying, two-timing, fake-ass Marxist. The hypocrisy that results when love and lust get mixed up with highbrow ideals."
The truth is (fact-checked) that he was in love with a Trotskyst-Marxist lesbian female. And he still was, when giving this answer, a little bitter about it.
Great song though. Love it
Maybe she wasn't a lesbian, maybe she just didn't want to go out with an overweight paki
He should rewrite it 'I could never be your paki'
This song is based in a letter wrote by his ex girlfriend. So... the song is not gay at all.
this song is so good! i was 13 when this song was a hit, and i remember myself clearly thinking "i'll be old but i will be still listening to this song happily" and here i am. old.
and you must listen to the full album, is great!
So happy when I found out the name of the song back to 97, just love it, the rythm and any perspective you see, gay, lesbian, straight it's a great song!!
Now I get meaning of this song. I was 13 when I saw the video on Mtv, but never figured out the lyrics.
I think the man on this history could have a psychopath personality but, as always happens on this cases, she finally left him after bear so much painful behaviours.
Such a great song!
It isn't a gay song you idiots. There wasn't any readig comprehension at your schools, come on. It is about a GIRL who is in love and PREGNANT ( is it in your genes I don't know but I'll soon find out that's for sure) and she is no longer what he wanted, now she's a burden. Not the woman he wanted so she left him. Even the video gives you a clue. READ MORE.
