LYRICS
She didn’t get mad, she didn’t even cry
She lit a cigarette and said goodbye
I must a’ missed a sign, I missed a turn somewhere
I looked in her eyes, I saw 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’s done 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
When a woman goes cold, when a woman goes cold
When a woman goes cold when a woman goes cold
