Lyrics
Just tell me what you've got to say to me
Request for honest communication
I've been waiting for so long to hear the truth
Expressing impatience for the truth
It comes as no surprise at all you see
No surprise in the impending revelation
So cut the crap and tell me that we're through
Demanding a direct acknowledgment of the end
Now, I know your heart, I know your mind
Claiming understanding of partner's emotions
You don't even know you're being unkind
Noting unintentional unkindness
So much for all your highbrow Marxist ways
Critiquing partner's intellectual facade
Just use me up and then you walk away
Feeling used and abandoned
Boy, you can't play me that way
Rejecting manipulation
Well, I guess what you say is true
Accepting the painful truth
I could never be the right kind of girl for you
Recognizing incompatibility
I could never be your woman
Assertion of inability to fit the partner's expectations
I could never be your woman
Reiteration of inability to be the ideal woman
I could never be your woman
Emphasizing the impossibility of being the perfect match
I could never be your woman
Continued assertion of unsuitability
When I saw my best friend yesterday
Reference to a conversation with a friend about the partner
She said she never liked you from the start
Friend's dislike for the partner
Well me, I wish that I could claim the same
Expressing a desire to share the friend's sentiment
But you always knew you held my heart
Acknowledging the partner's possession of the speaker's heart
And you're such a charming, handsome man
Complimenting the partner's charm
Now I think I finally understand
Claiming a newfound understanding
Is it in your genes?
Pondering if behavior is inherent
I don't know
Expressing uncertainty about the partner's nature
But I'll soon find out, that's for sure
Commitment to discovering the truth
Why did you play me this way?
Questioning the partner's motives
Well I guess what you say is true
Acceptance of the painful reality
I could never be the right kind of girl for you
Admitting incompatibility
I could never be your woman
Reiteration of the inability to be an ideal partner
I could never be your woman
Emphasizing the unsuitability for the partner
I could never be your woman
Reaffirmation of impossibility to meet partner's expectations
Ho, I could never be your woman
Final statement on inability to be the right woman
Well I guess what they say is true
Acknowledging a general truth about incompatibility
I could never spend my life with a man like you
Rejecting a lifetime commitment with the partner
I could never be your woman
Reiteration of the inability to be an ideal partner
I could never be your woman
Emphasizing the unsuitability for the partner
I could never be your woman
Reaffirmation of impossibility to meet partner's expectations
Ho, I could never be your woman
Final statement on inability to be the right woman
