I want to be a good woman
And I want for you to be a good man
This is why I will be leaving
And this is why I can’t see you no more
I will miss your heart so tender
And I will love this love forever
I don’t want to be a bad woman
And I can’t stand to see you be a bad man
I will miss your heart so tender
And I will love this love forever
And this is why I am leaving
And this is why I can’t see you no more
This is why I am lying when I say
That I don’t love you no more
Cause I want to be a good woman
And I want for you to be a good man
Even by her standards, this is an incredible song to have written. Tender, defiant, brave, gut-wrenching, heart-breaking- all at once. No mean feat. 11/10
this song helped me get over a 5 year relationship i had with my girlfriend/drug-dealer. i can't see her anymore because i want to stay clean, no matter how much i love her. just for today, i will be a good man
I want to be a good woman
And I want, for you to be a good man.
This is why I will be leaving
And this is why, I can see you no more.
I will miss your heart so tender
And I will love
This love forever
I don’t want to be a bad woman
And I can’t stand to see you be a bad man
I will miss your heart so tender
And I will love
This love forever
And this is why I am leaving
And this is why I can see you no more
This is why I am lying when I say
That I don’t love you no more
Cause I want to be a good woman
And I want for you to be a good man
my wife and i are living this song as i write this.. my friend shared this to me with having no idea where my wife and i are.. as far as i know, he thinks we are just peachy. so... what are the odds he sends me this link within a day of true disarray?
I am about to leave the man I love, the reason I suffer. My illness is a tragic affection. He doesn't love me, doesn't respect me, the only thing that keeps him next to me is desire and lust. What I need is a pure feeling. Being with him is ruining me. Although ending this is the hardest thing to do, I know this is the solution. Cause I want to be a good woman. It doesn't directly relate to the message of the song, but still listening to Good Woman gives me motivation to do what I should do.
This song reminds me of the man that told me I was a bad woman, and I made him a bad man. I want to be a good woman, I left him so he can be the man he wants to be. :(
My jaw dropped...
Being on the receiving end of words like these... I don't think the utter helplessness of the cruelty of kindness will ever hurt any less. I've seen these words on your face, and I've seen em' leave your lips. But I think this is the first time I'm really hearing them.
Right here.
This song is so inspirational! Makes me want to improve everything bad and unnecessary in my life. And makes me want to go curl up next to my boyfriend and cherish the love we share while we have it. This song also grimly reminds me nothing lasts forever..
I had to do this, I had no choice. Six months ago, I finally gathered the strength to do it. After 4 years, and giving it my absolute all, I let go of him. So I could remain a good woman, and for him to be a good man. Love is a funny thing. He is no longer in my life, but I still think of him. It's hard to let someone you love go, the heart is stubborn till the end. But it was the right thing to do...for both of us. For me, so I could be loved as the good woman I am...I had to make this choice.
