When a Woman Goes Cold

She didn't get mad, she didn't even cry

She lit a cigarette then she said goodbye

I must have missed a sign, I missed a turn somewhere

I looked in her eyes there was a stranger there

It's the way she's made, it's a natural fact

Once she's really gone she can't come back

Ain't no wedding dress, ain't no band of gold

Gonna keep her there when a woman goes cold

You're no longer her concern, scorched earth cannot burn

It's out of your control when a woman goes cold

She won't give an inch, she won't be convinced

Ain't no mercy in her soul when a woman goes cold

I wish she'd scream and shout, I wish she'd slam a door

I wish she'd curse my name like she did before

But she looks through me like I'm not there

And I'm dying here and she just don't care

You're no longer her concern, scorched earth cannot burn

It's out of your control when a woman goes cold

She won't give an inch, she won't be convinced

Ain't no mercy in her soul when a woman goes cold
