A Woman's Story
A Woman's Journey to Real Love: Marc Almond's Tale of Redemption
Lyrics
There are many who have laid with me
Reflects on the past experiences of intimacy with various partners.
Then got up and walked away from me
Expresses the transient nature of past relationships, where partners left without commitment.
And played around with me like I was a game
Describes how some treated the speaker as if love were a game, not taking it seriously.
Every night was a one night fling
Highlights a pattern of casual, one-night flings in the speaker's past.
When I'd given them everything
Conveys a sense of giving everything in past relationships without reciprocation.
They never even asked me for my name
Emphasizes the lack of interest from past partners in knowing the speaker beyond physical encounters.
God they never even asked me for my name
Reiterates the previous line, underscoring the superficial nature of past connections.
Now I've found real love
Announces a newfound, genuine love in the speaker's life.
Make no mistake about it
Asserts the authenticity of the present love, leaving no room for doubt.
Now that I feel love
Expresses an inability to live without the current, profound sense of love.
I just can't live without it
Underlines the essential nature of the current love in the speaker's life.
So if you love me
Expresses a desire for reciprocal love from the current partner.
The way I love you
Desires a committed, lifelong relationship with the current partner.
Why can't we spend our lives as one
Pleads for a shared life together, expressing the depth of the speaker's feelings.
My reputation was all over town
Addresses a past reputation of being involved with multiple partners.
As a woman who was passed around
Acknowledges the speaker's history of being perceived as someone easily passed from one person to another.
I knew every wrong way to go
Recognizes past mistakes and wrong decisions in relationships.
Seen every room with a bed inside it
Indicates familiarity with various places of intimacy and a diverse range of partners.
And every habit I've tried, I tried it
Admits to experimenting with different habits in the past.
But from now on I say hell no
Declares a firm decision to avoid past behaviors and choices.
No but from now on I say hell no
Reiterates the determination to break free from past habits and choices.
Now I've found real love
Confirms the reality of the current love in the speaker's life.
Make no mistake about it
Reaffirms the genuine nature of the present love, dispelling any doubts.
Now that I feel love
Expresses the indispensable nature of the current deep love.
I just can't live without it
Reiterates the difficulty of imagining life without the current profound love.
So if you love me
Expresses the reciprocity expected in the current relationship.
The way I love you
Desires a mutual and reciprocated love from the current partner.
Why can't we spend our lives as one
Repeats the plea for a shared and enduring life together.
Why can't we spend our lives as one
Reiterates the desire for a lifelong commitment with the current partner.
